| r6153 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.9/MA. 30th July, 1934. Messrs.Ekco Ltd., Ekco Works, Southend-on-Sea. For the attention of Mr.R.I.Cowley. Dear Sir, With reference to your late visit to our works you will probably be interested to know that we have received for test a Motorola Car Radio Set the twin-eight model. This radio set also has a vibrator unit fitted of an extremely interesting design made by the Mallory Co., of America. In trying this set out we do not notice so much interference due to the use of the vibrator as with the Philco Set. We do feel that the use of the vibrator makes the set more compact and if you have not already investigated this Mallory vibrator we suggest you do so as we do feel that it is preferable from the point of view of bulk to the use of a H.T. convertor. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
