| - 3 - HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/RH.{R. Hollingworth}1/VS.{J. Vickers}3.6.37. Rotors. Both rotors are in good condition, the wear on the blade being very small. Distributor Heads. Both distributor heads in good condition, very little wear taking place on the H.T. Segments. H.T. Wires."Helsby". Wires are electrically sound and generally in good condition. A few of the wires have cracked alight where they have been bent sharply; also several have slightly distorted due to heat. On the exhaust side the cable has the appearance of being burnt where it enters the plug terminal. Several of the rubber caps have become perished due to heat on the exhaust side. Tubes. These are generally in good condition, with the exception of two inlet tubes, a holding down bracket breaking away on each - this is due to poor soldering.
