| To Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. Shipping Office. c. Despatch Stores. X 4338 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 3/T16.10.22. X.4338 - C.A.V. SWITCHBOXES We are sending into the Stores for return to Messrs. C.A.Vandervell, three switchboxes of their type 10.A. (?) It is understood that the O.O. are arranging for credit to be given us for these switchboxes which were obtained in connection with the Goshawk electrical system. Though there is a remark in C.A.V's letter to the effect that these switchboxes are not of their standard type, we think they are in error in this respect, as at the time we definitely understood these boxes to be of their type 10.A, and certainly we had no special modifications made on these boxes to suit ourselves. What modifications were going to be necessary we had arranged to carry out here, but this was never done. EPC. | ||
