CHASSIS - VOLTAGE CONTROL. ------------------------------------ At the Conference held at Derby on June 14th. it was agreed that it was an urgent matter to fit a voltage controlled electrical system to the 20/25 for F.2. series, and to bring it on earlier than this if possible. We have issued instructions to the Order Office on the strength of this decision to hold up work on the parts concerned. It is most important if delay in production is to be prevented that we should have a decision at an early date standardising the new scheme which has been under test for some time, and we understand is practically ready for standardisation. | ||
