Joseph Lucas Ltd., Great King Street, Birmingham, 19. Dear Mr. Watson, Many thanks for the interesting time we spent at your works yesterday, and for the time you were able to devote to us yourself personally. I would like to confirm one or two things discussed, namely :- (a) You will be sending to us 6 sets of regulators type LR.{Mr Ellor}7. 3 of these will be temperature compensated for experimental trial in connection with the dynamo we left with your Mr. C. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Robinson. (b) You promised to let us have a pair of your new type horns for test on our experimental cars, as soon as they are released from your laboratory. We look upon this development with great interest, in view of the previous failures we have experienced with the wind tone horns of the standard type. (c) We are arranging to send to you a sample of the new Johnson & Phillips cable, which we have found to be so good. (d) We are also arranging to send you a set of contact breaker levers of the type as fitted to the Scintilla magneto we showed to you. Yours sincerely, | ||
