H.T. WIRES ON 11-GLII.

The H.T. wires on this chassis <strikethrough>which</strikethrough> are alternately of Glover and Maconite make have now completed 11,237 miles of running, and we desire to have these in the Electrical Laboratory for comparative test.

We can hand your men some Maconite cable with which to make up a new set if necessary, as we shall test the old wires to destruction.

E.F.C.

[Handwritten]: Another set of Maconite fitted.
