| X.4215 To Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. to Ms. FCA/T14.3.21. X.3770 X.3771 X.4215 X.1818 - ELECTRICAL CUT-OUTS We have heard nothing more from Messrs. Smith with regard to their cut-outs since their letter ref. ACL/WM of Dec. 24th last. You may remember we put it up to you in our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T10.1.21, to reduce the order for eight cut-outs to six in all, that was three further cut-outs with improved details and finish to be obtained. Now, however, Mr. Royce asks us to give him a comparison of prices of cut-outs, Smith, Bleriot and Lucas. We should be glad therefore if you could obtain for us the quantity price of the Smith cut-out with all the improvements we should require and which are already well known to Messrs. Smith, and also inform us if there would be any possibility of getting these in quantity from Smiths should we require them. We should like also to have the same information with regard to the Bleriot cut-out and also similar information as to the Lucas cut-out, as a separate or independent unit. EFC. {E.
