Dear Mr. West, Thanks for yours of August 22nd, and also for the Johnson & Phillips cables, and for the Scintilla contact breakers. The regulators which we promised you are being put in hand at once, and I will let you have a pair of our new WT.22 horns as soon as we are reasonably satisfied with them, which I hope will not be more than a week or so. As regards the non-tracking bakelite, I am getting samples from Formans Road of distributor mouldings made in the various types of this material which we employ, and will forward them to you for testing in the course of a day or so. Yours sincerely, A Watson | ||
