| WJT P. 6010 To MR EQ PY EHG/Wst. from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} As previously advised, Messrs. Henry Wiggin & Co., of Birmingham, are developing the manufacture of Thermometal, working in conjunction with the H.A.Wilson Company of Newark, N.J., and will gladly give us any further information we desire. They state they believe thermostatic devices are not used to any extent on British cars, yet in America even the cheapest carry several such devices. Meantime booklet giving details of Wilco/Wiggin Thermometal is attached - which perhaps you will kindly circulate and let me have back in due course. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Att. Booklet to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
