X.4105.B - CUT-OUT CONTACT POINTS.

In order to give increased rigidity to the support for the fixed contact point and also lighter spring pressure on the cut-out, we send you herewith blueprints of:-

D.51400 - Spring Contact.
D.51401 - Assembly of Spring Contact.
D.51404 - Contact Holder.
"D" Sch. 352-Rigid Support.

You have, we understand springs with reduced necks already on test and we think that with this new Contact Holder, better results should be obtained.

1/8" Ross Courtney Terminal should be used in place of the standard 5/32" at this point with plain washer D.50483 in place of D.50696.
