| V {VIENNA} /1450 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 6/T30.1.24. X.4430 - GOSHAWK IGNITION CONDENSER WITH UNTREATED PAPER DIELECTRIC. We have now been able to obtain some better quality paper (from the States) than that obtained in this country, with which you found it impossible to make up a satisfactory condenser. Would you now kindly have further attempts made to produce three experimental condensers for temperature-capacity and other tests, with the rolls of paper now handed to you. This paper has been obtained from the same firm who supply the Bosch Corporation in U.S.A. and as far as we know, is identical with that at present used by the Bosch Company in making up their paper condensers.
