| S/W. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST. LE2/C/15.3.3.5. WST 6183. Re Car Radio. Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST9/MA13.3.35. I note you will be coming down to London on Tuesday next to go into the question with Philco and E.K. Cole, Ltd., of fitting wireless sets to cars. We have had several Philips sets fitted recently so perhaps you would like to include them. One of the troubles is that there are a number of Agents who contract to fit wireless sets, I should think, at very cut prices, and as long as they can put them up and make them work, it is about all they trouble. To overcome this, I suggest that you get out sketches shewing how the various types of radio sets should be fitted to cars. J.L.E. | ||
