I attach hereto a letter and enclosure from the Ekco Wireless people, which may be of interest to you. I wonder if you have any further interesting information yet for us in regard to wireless on R-R and Bentley cars. For instance you had in mind some form of insulation which avoided the use of suppressors,and therefore removed any interference with the slow running of the engine, etc. Have you any progress to report in this direction ? Also, you were going to study the question of what is the best form of aerial to use. Another point is the question of Service Stations, and if you are satisfied that any of the better class Service Stations are able to instal wireless on R-R cars to our satis- faction now, and if so to whom we can recommend people for this purpose. Finally, have you made any further discoveries as to which is the best set to fit to R-R cars. A communication generally on this subject at the present time would in any case be interesting to us.
