| H.R. 235a (500 T) (S.D. 408. 26-4-17.) Bm. 2/156/15. To E from EFC. EFC1/L. 251018. X 3362 RE SWITCHES, BOARDS AND SHADES FOR [Handwritten: J.W.] We are sending with this note a small porcelain switch for Mr. Royce's inspection. We are able to obtain a few of these, and shall bee glad to know if this will be suitable As for the battery and dynamo switch we cannot get anything of the 10 ampre [Handwritten: size] other than the ones we sent to you. Also, it is not possible to get such boards unvarnished and unpolished, and therefore, what we suggest is that you should make a sketch of the type of board or boards required, and that we get these made here by the Pattern makers. Further, it is quite impossible, at the present time to obtain miniature opal shades. I have been trying to get some of these for my own purposes, for some months past but without success. I shall be glad to hear from you as to what to do in these matters. EFC. | ||
