Extract from GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 1/RP12.4.26.

Report on chassis 10-GIII after 2948 miles.

Battery ignition. X.5690. X.2894. X.5680.

Improved ventilation to distributor, window in head and hole in base EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 4/T15.1.26. Tungsten contact points fitted. The distributor has remained perfectly clean and, all the condenser joints have remained tight. The tungsten point on the finger has developed a small pip in the centre with a corresponding hole in the contact screw. The contacts are clean and good. After cleaning the sparking plugs we obtained good slow running of the car.
