| To EH. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to GJ. X.2753. X 3173 ORIGINAL. RE HIGH TENSION TERMINALS. 15th March, 1918. 4 R1/G1531 RECEIVED Thank you for your memo re high tension terminals. It is excellent for you to point out the disadvantages of the terminal under discussion, but I am inclined to agree with you that, considering the simplicity and other advantages of the terminal in which the screw pierces the insulation, it still is the best available for the purpose. In our arrangement of battery distributor, we have endeavoured to get the holes looking downwards, so we think it will be quite all right to go on with this pattern. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
