Dear Sirs, We refer back to your letter of the 19th November regarding the shielded short circuiting terminals on magnetos type MN101-D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} This matter has been fully investigated and we now learn from our Works that the moulding of the terminal has been reinforced. Furthermore the brass insert of some of the terminals was not knurled and for this reason the insulation broke off so easily. Our Works inform us that the latest execution of this arrangement is now entirely satisfactory. Should you still require two of these parts we should be pleased to hear from you and we shall then immediately obtain them from our Works. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, we remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, for SCINTILLA LIMITED. J H Berger WST MNG Attended to. R.{Sir Henry Royce} of P. file | ||
