Further to our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T24.8.27, this starter is now fitted up on chassis 14-EX and, with the alterations we have made, it is now functioning, though a jam may occur when cold.

We understand the car is being taken to you shortly. You will then have an opportunity of seeing first-hand the functioning of this apparatus. You will remember that this is fitted with the existing type of duplex switch with electrical link to/actuator switch off contact.
