X 2575 With reference to your EFC1/AT18.11.20 we are now using the fuse wire recently supplied, and so far have not actually had any trouble with this fusing, although we feel that we are just on the limit of fusing or not fusing, and it is only providing that everything is absolutely correct with the installation that this wire will stand up to its job. As you are aware, a large number of cars have already been delivered with what we consider to be unsatisfactory fuse wire, and we are anxious to send on supplies of better fuse wire. Do you think we should send on supplies of the fuse wire which we have now supplied and which we are now using? EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn. C DEC 4 1920 RECEIVED | ||
