Re Klaxon Wiper Motors.

With reference to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst2/JH17.3.37., do you not think that the extra power developed with this new larger motor is worth the slight increase in weight, bearing in mind that this motor is only a shade larger than the one supplied by Berkshire?

We have used a number of these and up to date it is very successful.

We should be glad to have your further remarks.
