| X.3513. EFC. from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}20/F26.4.21. X 3513 With reference to my discussion with you re electrical moulding work etc. as carried out by Messrs. Crompton & Co.Ltd., Arc Works, Chelmsford, I have now received a sample commutator made by them, and although I have not heard from my friend there, I have written to him explaining that I have asked you to call, and that anything in this line which he can arrange to show you or for you to be shown, will be very much appreciated. At the same time I have no doubt you will be able to discuss with him or such Officials as are there, general points re electrical equipment which may be to our mutual advantage. If this can be arranged, therefore, please call and enquire for Mr. Morgan, giving him my name, and ask whether it will be in order for you to see their process of moulding or such other features as you may desire, as requested in my letter which I have sent off to-day. I have every confidence that you will be quite welcome, but should you find there is not the atmosphere of being welcome, please do not press the point. EP.{G.
