| R10/G2.7.21. -2- Contd. by Lucas were wearing badly. Apparently the ones to be supplied in future are Le Carbone electrical graphite marked E.G.O. What is the make and brand of those that have failed ? Are the fuses and fuse holders reliable ? If they are unreliable, it is no use continuing to put them on cars. To carry two spare fuse holders already loaded, inside the switchbox, is not a cure for a defective piece of apparatus. I cannot understand this, and if this was agreed by our Committee (see report June 22nd.) my interpretation is either incorrect, or we did wrong to agree. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
