Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} from Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} , c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} , c. to Ey., c. to FP. {F.

Mr.Conner, Managing Director of the Conner Magneto Co. and the Peel-Conner Telephone Co. and a Director of the General Electric Co. has communicated with me through a mutual friend, in the hope that it will be possible to make arrangements for him to discuss the Conner magneto with us on Tuesday next, 16th inst. about 11 a.m. I am ignorant of the qualities of the Conner magneto, but I am told that same has been standardised by the Daimler Co. and several other important concerns and I think that advantage should be taken of Mr.Conner's proposal to visit us and discuss the qualities of his magneto. Will you kindly let me know whether you agree and, if so, whether the day and time mentioned will be convenient to you. Mr.Conner has given expression to the hope that he will be permitted to go round the Works. I suppose we shall have no objection, but shall be much obliged if Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} will say. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} | ||
