| R.R. 235A (100 T) (S.H. 139. 11-8-20) G. {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2800 ORIGINAL TO EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} FROM R. {Sir Henry Royce} R3/M15.9.25. x800 x4357 y8690 x4275 In our H.T. distributors I believe we use nickel. Would any other metal be more suit- able, such as tungsten, real silver, or stainless steel? Looking at the Bosch distributor head it would appear that their insulation is con- siderably less than we use, and yet you are com- plaining of tracking of the same materials.
