RE 20 H.P. AND 40/50 H.P. IGNITION DISTRIBUTORS.

In order to test whether a spherical point has advantages over
a flat one on the adjustable contact point of the Distributor, we
send you herewith a print of D.51503 - I.T. Contact Screw, you will
no doubt be able to modify some of our standard Screws - D.50468
to produce this.
