| X6058. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.7/AD. February 1st, 1932. Messrs. Joseph Lucas Ltd. Great King St. {Capt. P. R. Strong} Birmingham. For the attention of Mr. W.E. Robinson. Dear Sirs, We are making the experiment of using flat strips of iron in the ignition coil core similar to the Lucas and Delco Remy instead of the iron wire which we use on our present standard coil. We wonder if you would be good enough to send us the address of the firm from which you obtain these iron strips and also we should welcome any particulars of the sizes of strips and specification etc. which you could give us. Thanking you for your co-operation in these matters. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
