The General Electric Co Ltd MANUFACTURERS OF EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL. 42, High Street, BIRMINGHAM. Aug. 6th. 1919 OUR REF. L/W/466. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Nightingale Road, DERBY. STAMP: RECEIVED 7 AUG 1919 Dear Sirs, We have to-day despatched to you a sample condenser, in order to save space and tin, we have clipped the tin short and sweated on a copper sheet for contact, this gives a capacity of .22 M.F. The sample is slightly narrower than yours and if we put any more sheets, we should exceed the limit. Will you please test this and let us know the results. We might mention that this sample is hand made, using copper end piece which we think makes a better mechanical job. Yours faithfully, For THE GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. LTD. Boyes S ENCLOSURES: TO ENSURE PROMPT ATTENTION MATTERS REFERRING TO VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS SHOULD BE WRITTEN ON SEPARATE SHEETS. | ||
