| Extract from R7/G18.12.18. X.802. Mr. Hives asked that the complete wiring scheme of the car should now receive attention to avoid the general condition of untidiness in wiring matters, which seems to grow when a number of electric systems have to be carried about the chassis. Mr. Royce approved of using conduits made of aluminium tubes, baked enamelled with beaded ends, for carrying the conductors round the frame of the chassis. No conductors should be used which are not tinned, and soldering avoided where possible, and if soldered resin only should be the flux used, above all things not "Fluxite". A further stipulation regarding conductors is that they should be fixed of the flexible type. | ||
