| Starter Motor. 260. S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /RC. {R. Childs} ..from Bp. Lp. {Mr Lappin} 1/WT15.4.39 With reference to your Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /RC. {R. Childs} 19/JH.5.4.39 the mileage done since the started was fitted is 15,185. We have no criticism to make - it has functioned satisfactorily and on all occasions has given excellent, and I think, quicker starts than the standard motor. Lp. {Mr Lappin} | ||
