| x8657 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY10/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 8. 8. 24. E.A.C.II. ELECTRIC STARTER. PUSH BUTTON SWITCH. I notice that you have not received a copy of E1/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 25. 7. 24, which I am attaching hereto. You will note that E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} proposes to use this type of Switch in combination with either the 40/50 HP. Starter or the improved EAC.II. type Starter. This will mean of course standardization for use with the present 40/50 HP. chassis before it can be adopted for production. Possibly, however, E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} has in mind the idea of you using the switch on standard cars so as to obtain wide experience with it rapidly. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} will have a copy of the blueprint referred to, to which you can refer. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
