| X6119 To Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.9/ADL1.11.32. PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine), J.3 AND BENSPORT(Codename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley) IGNITION DISTRIBUTORS As the contact levers and contact plates on this unit have been specially designed to be interchangeable with Delco-Remy we suggest that instead of having ours made specially we buy direct from Delco's. The cost of a contact set from Delco Remy is only 2/1½d in 500 lots and we think you will find it interesting to compare this price with the cost of having these made specially for R.R. as at present, at a cost of 3/6d. per set. Delco-Remy levers have established quite a good reputation for reliability. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. | ||
