RE CONDENSER OF TYPE ORIGINALLY PROPOSED BY GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY WITH MELTED TIN CONNECTION TO THE TIN INTERLEAVES+ I am sending you herewith a sample of the original design of condenser submitted to us by the G.E.Co, as an alternative proposal to our own design. (3rd) I think this matter is of sufficient interest for you to get some experiments running to see whether the scheme is more reliable than our own, or not. I have one or two more of these condensers which can be arranged by you, if necessary, to run on a chassis. (4th) BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
