| X7655 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. EFC3/T7.5.29 PUSH BUTTON SWITCH FOR 19-EX. In our EFC2/T26.4.29 at which time 21-EX was to be production chassis, we suggested utilising the duplex push button switch of the old type from 9-EX. In the case of 19-EX we cannot effect a similar exchange because the one removed from 19-EX is only a single one and will not be suitable for 9-EX. We are short of duplex push button switches but we are prepared to hand over the one we have in here on our rig so that you may have this put on 9-EX and release the old type from 9-EX for 19-EX. Will you please arrange for this to be done. Further to this, we understand that two nearly complete sets of parts of the old type duplex push button switch are available in Mr. Brock's Dept. We should be pleased if you would arrange for these to be assembled into two further sets of the type now to be fitted to 19-EX, one of which will come in for 20-EX, the other of which should be handed to us to replace the one now handed to you.
