| ROY. {Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} X.4473 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 7/LG19. 2. 29. H.T. CABLE. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Kalker & Co. With reference to the attached correspondence now returned - our present standard (Maconite) H.T. cable is quite satisfactory for Battery Ignition. We do not understand their argument that we are probably having trouble with our cable and we do not think there is anything to be gained by testing their sample. Certainly 3 ft. is quite insufficient for a proper test. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
