| L. WEEKES (LUTON) LTD. contd. 2. 3rd May 1937. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Limited. Derby. c) We are putting in hand 3 dozen fibre barrel fuses to submit to you for test. These would be our indicating type, on which the label is marked when the fuse has blown. We propose sending you 1 1/2 dozen with pressed caps and 1 1/2 dozen with turned caps. For the latter, we are using turned caps which we actually have in stock, for the purposes of testing, but of course their form and dimensions can be made to suit your requirements. With regard to the best type of Fuse for use on your cars, as the voltage is only 12 V.{VIENNA} we do not think there is any point in materially increasing the size of the fuses at present supplied to you, and we think the most satisfactory fuse would be one of similar size and having turned caps - the latter being of plain cylindrical form. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, Yours faithfully, L.WEEKES (LUTON) LIMITED. [Signature] Director. | ||
