Please receive herewith one blue print of F.50973/4/5/6/7/8 These are the Cuffs for the cables which connect up to the Distribution Board from the Switch Box. As these pieces are so small we do not propose producing these as Bakelite mouldings but on production we shall buy these out made of Aeronoid. Perhaps for the experimental models you could make these out of Ebonite Rod and have the numbers engraved and picked out in white. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /WER.
