RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.5/MA.2.11.34.

IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR ON 5.B.IV.

Will you please note that it has been agreed with Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} that the ignition distributor to LeC.3323 is not to be fitted to 5.B.IV. as instructed by Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls}

The standard unit should be used. A double breaker distributor similar to LeC.3323 is to be schemed out using the Bentley type levers at a later date.
