| X6110 By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr.Brock. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/AD23.11.31. B.T.H. FABROLITE MOULDING POWDER Whilst at the B.T.H. works some time ago we arranged with Mr. Vinsen for him to let us have a sample for trial of their special distributor bakelite moulding powder from their Rugby Works. It is claimed for this powder that it has special non-tracking properties and high dielectric strength. We have now received a sample 6 lb. tin of same which we are handing to Mr.Brock and we should be glad if you would kindly arrange for a distributor head and coil case to be moulded in this powder in order to test its electrical characteristics in the laboratory.
