20/25 HP. RELAY OPERATED STARTING SWITCH.

Referring to the above proposal, we are sending you herewith a design which we have got out, which, whilst we have kept it as simple as possible and it really represents a production job, we think it is a perfectly sound proposal from the point of view of design and reliability.

We would like to have your agreement that we may go ahead and produce a sample switch to have it tried out for use on the present 20/25 HP. chassis.
