| To EFC. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X 3362. 6th November, 1918. E2/G61118. RE LIGHTING INSTALLATION AT WEST WITTERINGHenry Royce's home town. With reference to the above, Mr. Royce wishes the proportions of the switches, distributing boards, fuse boxes, etc. to be more on the lines of a car lighting system, and I am hoping to send you very shortly some sketches illustrating the sizes and designs of these parts. We thank you for sending the white porcelain switch. This is larger than Mr. Royce really requires. We have some little brass switches on the Calcott car about 1¼" diameter, which are more suitable. We will shew proportions and sizes of switches in the above mentioned sketches. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
