Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T5.1.28 - We get little or no complaint of H.T. Cables failing, but we realise how quickly the existing H.T. Cable perishes due to heat etc. A cable that will stand the heat and give a longer life would be an improvement. It is at the plug end the cables go first. Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} /WW.
