| R R 235 A (100 T) (S F 846 6 S-19) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2469. ORIGINAL 2 TO EFC. FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R1/M14.10.22. X.1815 X.4215 RE CUTOUT FOR WW. I intend you to make up an RR. cutout but I am not particular whether it is a R-R, or a Bleriot-Phi - the latter fits the space and if you want to use one up by revising for my new voltage - 24/30 - I shall be quite pleased. If you have to get a new one and revise it, it will be better to mount a R-R on a suitable base (as small as possible) because it will be an opportunity of testing it's lasting qualities, though you ought to do this better at Derby, getting in hundreds of contacts to my one, but all the same my place would test if time or corrosion would cause failure near the sea it is trying for copper and contacts.
