| X.2572 Extract from Mr. Maddock's rpt. 17.3.20. X.186 X.2/29 X.3647. Today I have found out why the platinum points of the battery ignition have pitted so badly. The two screws which hold the condenser in the contact breaker cover were not making good contact although they were tight and did not appear to have worked loose at all. | ||
