X6009 Rg.{Mr Rowledge} from EFC. c. Ey. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EFC2/AD5.2.30. X.6009. CELLULOSE VARNISHED CAMBRIC COVERED X.6010. MACONITE H.T. CABLE. Further to our EFC1/AD21.1.30, we would like to recommend that H.T. wire to the above description, a small quantity of which we have already in our possession (and some on an experimental car) be utilised in the case of the two engines for Sir Henry Segrave. We have satisfied ourselves by tests that this cable offers a very good protection from oil and petrol. For these particular engines protection from oil would appear to be a very desirable feature.
