| -6- Contd. As previously referred to, Messrs. Glover's represent- ative stated that the quality of the H.T. ignition cable we are using as standard was not the best possible. Hence their submission of samples of the Super-Glover and "Glowerite", the latter of which is somewhat similar to Maconite. The tests of these samples are at present a good way off completion, but as elsewhere reported, we have a sandwich set on 12-EX, the 10,000 mile test of which in France we understand is now delayed. In the circumstances we recommend that this Maconites cable be standardised for the present. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
