E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Fowler Clark Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited, Nightingale Road, DERBY. Dear Mr. Fowler Clark, Mr. Vandervell has been having a little trouble with the burning of the contact points on his 'Phantom' Rolls, and he has just asked me to tell him the capacity of the condenser. I should be very grateful if you could let me have this information, as it is extremely awkward to measure the capacity with the equipment in position on the car. I hope some day soon we shall be able to have the pleasure of a chat on general matters. With kind regards, I remain, Yours sincerely, William H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Glaser. | ||
