DUPLEX PRESS BUTTON SWITCH - E.A.C.V11.

We have today instructed to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} the packing suitable to produce the modified gaps as attached - these are not quite the same as yours because we have had to correct the dimensions on the moving arm.

We also give below the gaps as shown on LeC.2] 99.
