Bailey - Chief Engineer} FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. BAILEY. Dear Sir, X.136/ CAR LIGHTING GENERATOR. X.294- X.1402 You will remember that when I recently visited your works I discussed with you the design of a Car Lighting Generator controlled by a vibrator. We are now going care-fully into the design of such a machine and I would be extremely obliged if you could let me have a detailed specification, covering your requirements, so that the design that we are now working on can be made to fulfil these requirements in every respect. I understood from you that such a specifi-cation would be sent to us in due course, but as it has not come to hand up to the present time I am taking the liberty to remind you of the matter, as we are most anxious to expedite the completion of our design. Yours faithfully, (SIGNED A.P. Young. ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. APY/WS. | ||
