X.6011 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. c. Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr Brock. EFC2/AD28.3.30. X.6011. ~~X.5513.~~ BRITISH MADE BAKELITE MATERIAL X.616B. Will you please arrange for two complete standard ignition coils to be made up with cases moulded in the above material to enable us to make the usual performance test under hot coil conditions on the road. This is an essential test before this material can be recommended for production use. The results of bench tests, which tests are now completed, are entirely favourable to this material. EFC.
