| X. 295 EPCL/AT8.8.19. 8.8.19 Messrs. Smith & Sons, Ltd., 179-185 Gt. Portland Street, London. W.1. Dear Sirs, RE CHASSIS LIGHTING DYNAMO. With reference to the correspondence which passed between us in connection with your type A Dynamo and the results of tests forwarded to you, we shall now be glad to hear if you have been able to produce a machine which will satisfy our requirements as regards general finish, and also one which will "show an appreciable improvement, both in cutting in speed, and full output speed", as suggested in our letter of May 22nd. Our policy as regards lighting dynamos is, at the moment, only fixed for our first 500 chassis, but we shall have to be able to decide in the near future as to what this shall be for subsequent chassis. We are therefore particularly anxious to hear from you regarding this matter and to receive a machine of your improved type. Yours faithfully, | ||
