With reference to the question of Tungsten Contacts we regret that we are unable to advise you where you can obtain this material in this country. Although Tungsten is manufactured by many concerns in the States we have always had to exercise the very greatest care in our purchases. At the present time we do not purchase from more than one or two firms and each consignment is carefully inspected and tested. The troubles usually experienced are bad welding, impurities due to welding, and impure tungsten, etc., We regret that we are unable to supply you with more satisfactory information. We are, Yours faithfully, W.O.Kennington Consulting Engineer. REMY ELECTRIC COMPANY. Stamp: RECEIVED 5 FEB 1919 | ||
