Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 6/T3.7.24, we shall be glad if you will push forward the experimental work in regard to the positive release for the starter switch, so that this feature can be standardised along with the better location of contacts and reduced gauge of spring fingers. We also consider it advisable to issue a standardisation sheet in regard to the new type condenser built up in accordance with LeC.1745. These appear to be the only experiments in your EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 6/T3.7.24 and EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T15.7.24 which can be put through for standardisation at the moment, excepting of course the lighter field fuse for the distribution board, which is being dealt with separately. We return herewith the improved condenser (IC) submitted to us. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /C. | ||
