| x6153 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/MA. 9th October, 1934. Messrs.Philco Radio & Television Corporation of Great Britain Ltd., Aintree Road, Perivale, Greenford, MIDDLESEX. Dear Sirs, We have now had an opportunity of examining the special ignition coil suppressor that you have had made for use on our cars by the Erie Resistor Co., We regret to note however that there are one or two points in the design which escaped our notice at the time the drawings were submitted and we think it would be advisable for you to send a representative to discuss the question of this resistor as quickly as possible as we cannot agree to its use in its present form. The main point we are concerned about is the large amount of live metal exposed. Will you kindly let us know when it will be convenient for your representative to visit us. Yours faithfully FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
