| Expl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.4/MJ. 6th. December, 1934. Messrs. L. Weekes (Luton) Limited, Luton, Beds. Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 4th.inst., reference WF/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister}, we are attaching herewith a blue print which will reply to your second query. This blue print showing the exact fixing and terminal distances of our existing main fuse. With regard to your first query, the possible average running currents that the fuse would normally have to carry for any length of time would be not more than 16 Amps., but for short periods the current might be as high as 40 Amps. We hope this information will satisfy your queries. Yours faithfully, For Rolls-Royce Ltd. | ||
