BALLAST RESISTANCE.
Will you please issue instructions to those concerned for an alteration to the old standard double value ballast resistance in cases where this is found to be unsatisfactory, by which the working length of the wire is lowered from 39 inches to 34 inches, thus making it the equivalent of the new 1 1/4 value ballast resistance recently instructed for production.
