For the attention of Mr.Pignatt.

Dear Sirs,

We have sent under separate cover, three B2CJ1.A, 12 volt Regulators with the special voltage setting as requested by you on your recent visit to these works.

Regulator No: 61923 is set at 16 volt on open circuit voltage, first contact; 16.3 volt on second contact.

Regulator No: 62006- open circuit voltage 16.8 on first contact; 16.3 on second contact.

Regulator No: 61892 - 16 volt open circuit voltage, first contact, and 16.4 on second contact.

These Regulators, as you will see, have been set up higher than the standard setting, by C.A.V, in order to increase your output, and we shall be pleased to hear from you after you have made your tests.

Yours faithfully,
JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED.
