X.2778 - RE USE OF GLOVERS WIRE ON CHASSIS

We attach a copy of a note received from Mr.Platford regard the use of Glovers' wire on chassis.

We are rather in agreement with EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} in his views of the disadvantages of the Ferflex armouring. This certainly becomes black and dirty looking after being in use for a little while.

Do you think we should take any steps with a view to trying experimentally some similar wiring with the spiral type of armouring?
