The capacity of the condenser was measured and found to be .200 microfarads at 20°C. The HT rotor is a small bakelite moulding The rotor blade carries a piece of spring steel on which is riveted a piece of domed material which bears on a fixed carbon in the distributor lead The distributor head is ventilated by four .125 diameter holes, The distributor segments are extremely heavy being made of .375 diameter brass. A large insulation distance has been left in the distributor Signed fontde This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
