| X6020a By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EFC. c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} EFC7/AD29.1.31. X.6020a/b. ALUMINIUM WIRING TUBES. My assistant Mr. West offers the suggestion that now we have standardised black enamelled aluminium H.T. wiring tubes, the bakelite elbow E.30723 could also be made a black enamelled aluminium casting. This would appear to be cheaper and to improve the appearance as the brown bakelite now looks rather out of place. EFC. | ||
