R.R. 235A (100 T) (S.H. 798, 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2047 Contd. -5- EFC1/T25.1.21. One can say that the half watt lamps we are at present receiving from the B.T.H. Co. are at least as reliable as ordinary metallic filament Royal Ediswan, and that therefore at this point we are justified in recommending their use for chassis head lamps. We have received some more of these lamps lately and some of these have been sent to the Test Dept., Expl. Dept. and to Mr. Royce for test in service. The improvement brought about in these lamps has followed various complaints we have made to the B.T.H. Co. about the failures of the earlier half watt lamps which we received from them. EFC. | ||
