X.1581 RE H.T. TESTING TRANSFORMERS. X.1109 With reference to your memo Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}6/DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}10.12.20, certainly the works must manage with one. Royce Ltd., have such a plant, and also Glovers. I am inclined to think we only need one of a very small capacity, and if such an apparatus will reduce faulty work, it will pay for itself in a short time. Kindly look further into the subject with the help of our friends. Be sure we can get high enough in volts, and that we have no more capacity than is really necessary, both for low first cost, and less risk of the operators. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
