Purchasing Department, D E R B Y. 3rd December, 1937. Your Ref. Our Ref. MVP/EB. Dear Sirs, We are writing to advise you that we are extending the scope of our Condenser Department, and one new item that we are manufacturing, i.e. suppressor type condensers for fitting to autos which are equipped with Car Radio may be of interest to you. We are not at present considering the manufacture of ignition condensers unless we can find a market for a really good unit having an insulation resistance in the neighbourhood of 3,000 megohms per microfarad, which is our normal quality. If the suppressor type unit is likely to be of interest to you we would be pleased to supply a sample fitted with universal bracket free of charge for your tests, and also to quote for bulk supplies. Assuring you of our best attention at all times. We are, Yours faithfully, FERRANTI LTD. [Signature] R.B. Pirie Manager, Condenser Dept.
