RE WIRING

We have fitted up 4 EX. car with the
improved type of Glovers Ferflex covered wire. This wire
is an improvement over the wire we are at present using.
1. Because of the reduced diameter which gives
it a neater appearance -
2. Because we have got rid of the 6-30's wire
which was liable to break.

The improved arrangement of Junction Box is
also used in connection with this wire. This junction box
gives a much neater appearance because of all the wires going
in at the side of the box instead of some at the side and
some at the top and bottom as at present.

In connection with the junction box we
recommend that the engraved plate showing the wire diagram
should be fixed to the lid.{A. J. Lidsey} On the other side we recommend
that a plate giving a few hints of things to look at if
anything goes wrong with the electrical system.
