Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. For the attention of Mr. Swindon. Dear Sirs, OSCILLOGRAPH. Our representative, Mr. Wilkins, has informed us of his recent visit and conversation with you, and we note that you are interested in an instrument for measuring the wave form of coils under working conditions. It occurs to us that a high speed Portable Oscillograph would be very suitable for this work, and we shall be glad to know the periodicity of ignition impulses and the approximate frequency of transients. This will enable us to select suitable equipment. We, therefore, look forward to hearing further from you in connection with this matter, and are, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, SIEMENS-SCHUCKERT (Great Britain) LTD., (Handwritten Notes) Test Swindon | ||
