Re Insulation Testing Apparatus.
--------------------------

X.1109

Mr. Clark has requested that we purchase two small transformers for insulation testing. The transformers would step up to a maximum secondary voltage of 20,000, and he states that it is your wish that some such apparatus be obtained.

As we are doing all we can to curtail expenditure, I shall be glad if you will kindly let me know whether we should purchase the two transformers. They will cost, complete with the oil, £41 each, and as Mr. Clark says he requires one for his own use and one for production department the total expenditure will be £82.

If you think we should obtain such apparatus, perhaps you would say whether we can manage with one set only.

Hy. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}
