Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.11/JH.9.4.37.

British Insulated & Helsby Cables Ltd.,
H.T. Ignition Cables.

We have ascertained that the cable this firm is now supplying to us is not of the same quality we standardised. They are supplying grade 674 which we consider is inferior to the original grade 673 standardised.

Will you please ask them to revert to the 673 grade as quickly as possible.
