| R.H. 235a (500 T) (S.D. 408. 28-4-17.) Bm. 2/158/13. To EH. from EFC. EFC2/T15.1.19. 15th January 1919. X. 2894 - RE TUNGSTEN CONTACTS. Regarding the above, we asked you for a report on these contact just a month ago now, in writing. We have several times asked you verbally in addition to this, and we particularly asked you a day or two before we went to London to be sure and let us have the results of this test. As in the case of the X.3228 sparking plugs, we again think it is too bad. It is not only unfair to us, but it seems to us unfair to the L.P.S. Electric Co., who have written us for results once or twice, and to whom we have been able to give nothing but a procrastinatory answer. You will remember in addition that this is the second lot of contacts of the same kind sent by the L.P.S. for this purpose, the other set having become lost. We shall be glad if you will look this matter up at once and let us have a report. EFC. | ||
