| X4473. URGENT. RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} /HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /AJL. EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/D24.5.29. H.T. WIRING FOR CHASSIS 18-EX In re-building this chassis we would like to incorporate a sandwich system for H.T. wiring comprising the 3 types, standard maconite, super Glover, and Helsby cable, supplies of the 2 latter of which we have in readiness. These 3 types of cables should be systematically sandwiched both on the battery and magneto wiring systems. Owing to the fact that in one previous case we have not duly received sandwich wires back for examination, we should like a careful record to be kept so that when these wires have performed the 10,000 mile test there will be no question that the identical wires will be handed back for examination.
