| To Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/Ms. from EFE. X3860 EFCl/T25.3.26. X.3860. "MACONITE" H.T. CABLE. We have received 250 ft. of Maconinte H.T. cable similar as regards dia. to previous cable received. This is oversize, and is definitely larger in dia. than our absolute top limit of 7 mm. It does not make a nice job through the cleats and also it is difficult to get the number of cables in the tube. During our visit to the Maconinte Works we made it clear to them that the cable previously received was too large, and I do not understand why we have now received another 250 ft. of this cable which is of very little use to us.
