| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} 300a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.7/JH.15.7.37. With reference to your report concerning the insulated plug terminals not being sufficiently secure on the cable, we can definitely say that this is due to the cable on the chassis only having 19/.012 conductors. The standard cable has 40/.010 and is quite satisfactory in this respect. Unfortunately we had no stock of this cable when 32-EX was in the shop. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. | ||
