| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} & By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Cricklewood, July 2nd. 1936. We are enclosing a sample of high tension wire which we are of the opinion would overcome the trouble of failure due to the breaking down of the insulation. A set has been fitted to a car which had repeated trouble and so far (mileage at present short) has given no trouble. It is made by the Helsby Cable Co., and is specially produced for the Delco Remy, and has a super highclass. It is not supplied to the trade. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
