| ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. INSTRUCTIONS. (5) To _________ Order No._________ Customer's No._________ that the quality of H.T. ignition cable we are using as standard is not the best and they have submitted samples of what they term "Super Glover" and "Eslovelite" cable the latter being similar to "Maconite". We shall be conducting similar comparative tests of these two Glover samples with Maconite and we already have a sandwich set on 12EX in France. As these tests will take considerable time to complete we recommend that Maconite be adopted as Standard. Signed H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} West. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. RR 23B (150 BKS.) (DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 481-8-12 24) MP 306975 | ||
