Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}[/strikethrough] X76B5B BY5/G.10.10.28. S.S. CAR. -------- In connection with the SS.{S. Smith} chassis, we feel that one of the most urgent matters is the production of the new switch to Part List No. D.71810. It is not the length of time necessary to produce the switch itself, but it will be necessary for this switch to be handed over to EFC. for it to be tried out on the bench, and in order to give EFC. time for this test it is of the utmost importance that the switch should be given precedence. Mr. Royce is very sensitive indeed in regard to electrical matters from the point of view of what is actually fitted to his car. We have had experience of this in the past, and therefore I feel very much indeed the great need of getting this scheme forward quickly, and giving everybody a decent chance to get the thing right.
