| To HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} & CK.{Mr Clark} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -2- R5/G9/2/20 Contd. not believe any fuses will give the protection desired, but certainly CK.{Mr Clark} can arrange these if possible, and he thinks desirable. With regard to the last item of report CK{Mr Clark}1/T7220 that the failure of a fuse might cause serious trouble on a dark night, this contingency is provided for in my remarks on the size of the fuse wire that should be used, but to blow the fuse is better than to fire on the car. Please send me sample distribution board modified as suggested by Mr. Clark, which I understand will meet his approval. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
