Some time back we sent to you a number of Ammeters incorporating our damping action for use with Voltage Control Sets, and it was arranged that you should put these through various tests and let us have your comments. At the time of writing we have not yet heard from you as to whether these Ammeters are suitable to your requirements and if not where they have not come up to your specification, and also we note that you are not taking supplies of Ammeters from us of the ordinary type as you have done previously. No doubt you will be good enough to look into this matter for us, and let us have your comments at your early convenience. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. H.G.Salmon Technical Sales Department. | ||
