IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR ON 18-GIV.
This unit should be modified before the chassis leaves for 10,000 mile test with the two additional experimental features recently instructed by Ry/RD, namely, lubricated pivot for contact breaker lever abd bush in the tower to avoid wear on the advance and retard movement.
