INSTRUCTIONS To Mr Clark 12th Nov 1917 Order No. Customer's No. Laboratory Re Ballast resistance wire from Remy coil Ni = 88.57 Mn = 2.14 Zn = 1.0 Cu & Fe = traces Pt = 5.58 I do not feel this is quite satisfactory since the quantity of wire was too small to do an accurate complete analysis. The lead is also peculiar. If you could let me have some more the above could be checked. Signed H.C. Hoff This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
