YOUR REF. OUR REF. CE. 84775. A.G. 17th September, 1937. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, With further reference to your letter of the 9th inst. enclosing your specification No. EL.9/1 we have considered this specification and can agree the conditions contained in Paragraph 1-5 inclusive. Regarding Paragraph 6 we have of course, not had sufficient time to make up the apparatus and carry out the ionization test but we understand that you have already subjected our cable to this test at your works with satisfactory results. Perhaps you will kindly confirm that this is so. Also would you be kind enough to supply us with a sketch showing sufficient details of the testing apparatus to enable us to construct one. Further, full information as to the make and reference number of the ignition coil employed will be of great assistance. Thanking you in advance for your kind reply, We are, Yours faithfully, Johnson & Phillips, Limited. S.W Melsom SALES DEPT. (Cable Estimating). IF | ||
