Shorting in distributor cover.
------------------------
The chauffeur of the above Owner rang up Cricklewood stating that a sparking across two of the high tension leads inside the distributor was causing a short between A. {Mr Adams} and B. block. Cricklewood have sent a new distributor, and I have asked them to send you the one that is failing, when it arrives at Cricklewood.
