| SFT.{Mr Swift} from EFC. c. Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr. Brock. x2894 EFC7/T11.4.28. RE TUNGSTEN POINTS Referring to your telephone conversation, the position at the moment is that we have three sets of levers and points by the Tungsten Mfg. Co. also three sets by the L.P.S. Electrical Co. These are at present in HHC's hands for fitting up with the necessary rubbing blocks, etc. We have also asked Mr. Coverley for two further contact breaker units to the new standard LeC.2460, with which to put these in hand. (Our previous units are of course not up-to-date ones of this description). We have ourselves one complete unit, but as we have five rigs, we require two further of these battery ignition tower units. If you can arrange to loan us two such units from production we shall then be able to get all five units running on the desired tests. These units can, of course, be returned to production when the tests are completed, but seeing that we have five rigs it would be worth while to have them all running at the same time. EFC. | ||
