We beg to thank you for your favour of the 1st. inst., and have carefully noted your comments. LAMPS: We note that you leave the choice of these to the individual customer. We take it that in a number of instances the matter is left in your hands, in which case, might we suggest that you give our lamps favourable consideration. ACCUMULATOR: The writer we believe intimated during his visit earlier in the year that this is the only component in our Lighting & Starting Equipment which is not manufactured in our own Cricklewood factory. We have adopted the A.{Mr Adams} & M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} for the reason that it has given the most satisfactory results in the past. INSTRUMENTS: We note your remarks and that you are designing a special instrument board to represent your own ideas. Might we offer the services of our own Instrument Engineer in this direction? | ||
