X.4054.B - DISTRIBUTOR - 20 H.P. CHASSIS.

Referring to our recent instructions - BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD10/ML17.12.24, instructing an improved earth connection for the Condenser, we are now of the opinion that to have one cable permanently fastened and one fastened only with the spring clip arrangement is wrong and therefore, we propose to permanently fasten both these cables. Therefore, the following parts used on the standard Distributor are not required:-

E.20647 - Spring.
D.50560 - Stop Ring.
D.51319 - Spring Stop.
D.51320 - Terminal.
D.51318 - Special Nut.
D.51361 - Terminal Stud.

These are replaced by -
D.51369 - Terminal Stop.
D.51370 - Special Nut.
K. {Mr Kilner} 9005 - Lock Nut.
K. {Mr Kilner} 4404 - Plain Washer.

Will you please put this in hand.
