| To TT. from HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S. Cassel} By/RD. By/NS.{Norman Scott} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} 6117. SEE ME HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S. Cassel}4/BA.6.1.39. 3.B.50 Car Wiring and Electrical Equipment. We are not clear on our wiring instructions and Electrical equipment for the above car, and are requesting TT. to mock-up same. We understand that Wiring harness is not to be fitted and that we are reverting to conduits and wires for which at the moment we have no details. It has been suggested by By/RD that we should 'use up' any wiring harness we have. Will TT. please arrange accordingly. HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WSC.{W. S. Cassel} [Handwritten note on the right]: Design not stable enough to make harness looms worth while as any alteration to design necessitates new harness and therefore ordering large quantities.
