VENTILATION OF DISTRIBUTOR - 20 H.P. CHASSIS.

Answering your EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T9.1.26, LeC.2121 did not refer to the 20 H.P. Chassis and if you will examine the construction of the governor, See E.50880, you will notice that an effective trap is arranged similar in design to item 3 - LeC.2121.

Referring to the extra ventilation in the moulded head and distributor base, I see no reason why this should not be adopted and further, would keep some parts common to both chassis which is an advantage in the Works.
