| To EFC. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -2- R9/G13818 Contd. I will get Mr. Elliott to requisition some lengths of wire suitable for the drawing boards. I think they would do with about 6 to 8 c.p. Lamps for 12 volts, highest efficiency that will burn regularly for, say, something over 200 hours life. Insulated wire for 5 amperes - 30 yards. Double Flexible for 1 ampere - 30 yards. Lamp Holders. - four. Lamps. - six (until we see if the c.p.is right) Switches. - four - 1 ampere. - one - 5 amperes. Rough ammeter for reading up to 10 amperes so as to save the Weston, and enable it to use for volts. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
