| To EPC. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 7th March, 1919. E3/G7319. X.3362 RE LIGHTING INSTALLATION AT WEST WITTERINGHenry Royce's home town. Referring to the above, would you kindly note that Mr. Royce does not like the simple fuse box for the main switch-board in the engine room. He would like a larger one of the round type, if it is possible to obtain one. It should be necessarily larger than the round ones you have obtained for the distributing board because of the increased size of conductor. We are returning to you under separate cover, the Trumbull battery switch, and should be glad if you would order one of the type last sent on a slate base, so that the two main switches in the engine room will be of identical pattern. We are also returning one of the miniature tumbler switches which we have found here, which may as well be treated as regards its finish, together with the rectangular sample fuse box previously mentioned in this memo.
