| EFC. from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} VL{V. Lewis / Mr Valentine}622 ROY{Sir Henry Royce}10/AG14.7.25 ------------------ Elliott Brothers are asking if we can now give them any further information regarding the Ammeter they submitted in competition with the Weston. Would you kindly advise. From our various conversations, my recollection of the matter is that the said instrument proved to be the nearest to the Weston we had yet received, but you had some difficulty with the attachment of the Zero Correcter. Do you not think we could now ask the Elliott people to go ahead and make another 6 or even 12 instruments, and put them in general use ? ROY{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
