We are proposing to visit the Lucas Research Laboratories in the near future in order to compare notes with Dr Turner and ascertain the latest developments in automobile electrical equipment and we suggest that, with your agreement, Mr. Brock goes with us in order to get up-to-date information on winding Coils and making up condensers.

At the moment we are experiencing a little difficulty in satisfactorily winding up the new circular condenser for J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. and as Messrs. Lucas have made these for some time they might be able to give Mr. Brock some useful information in rigging up a winding jig.
