X.1162 Ammeter for Chassis Ref: EPC1/AT. X.1782 Dear Sirs, In reply to your of the 28th inst. we beg to advise you that we could supply our Model 354 for use on Motor Cars at a cost of 22/6 each, but we should probably be able to improve this price slightly if large quantities are involved. You would find this Model absolutely reliable for this work and it would be perfectly dead beat. For similar use we could, however, supply our moving coil Model 301 instrument, of which we enclose an illustration, at a cost of 33/- each, and here again we would endeavour to slightly improve this figure for large quantities. Whilst this is a moving coil instrument it must not be considered as being delicate, because they will withstand as much vibration as any vital part of the chassis itself would stand, though, at the same time, the instruments are very sensitive, dead beat, and immediately respond to the slightest fluctuation in the electrical circuit. We shall be pleased to quote you definitely for these instruments if you will advise us the quantity you would be prepared to purchase, and we have no hesitation in stating that Contd....
