| COPY. X4079 To EFC. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} R2/M29.5.24. RE COILS. X.4079. I understand you have a Redmonite coils which is satisfactory as regards insulation with the bakelite type of case. I believe the design committee have suggested that this should be carried higher and higher in temperature so as to get a final breakdown comparison with stabalite. Personally I feel very shy at using bakelite for this coil case and will only do so after very careful experiments, as the fault is so elusive and dangerous. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
