| -2- Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.4/AD.19.2.32. contd. (4) Lucas high frequency horns. With reference to the special extra loud horn which you have produced, we are now building up a special high speed Phantom chassis which we hope to send out for test shortly and we wonder whether it will be possible to have one of these special horns fitted to this car. Can you tell us when you will have a sample available for our test? (5) Condensers. Whilst we were at the Works we mentioned the fact that we should like to go into the question of condenser windings machine design and we understood that you have an old slow type machine which you could dispose of to us and we should be glad if you would look into the question of this and let us have a quotation for same. Should you desire not to dispose of this machine perhaps you would be good enough to loan us drawings of same so that we could make up a machine ourselves on similar lines. We thank you again for the interest you showed in our visit and extend to any of your representatives a hearty welcome to our Works especially in order that you may see our coil winding machine which we think will help you considerably in your ideas of coil winding. We think you ought to consider again the method of coil winding with a view to revising the operations for same. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
