BACKING LIGHT SWITCH.
------------------

With reference to DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 1/M1.8.30. the oil leakage from the backing light switch is only slight, and we are of the opinion that if we increase the depth of the boss and use a velumoid packing washer the trouble will be overcome.

We are arranging to do this, and no doubt the Experimental Department will report in due course.
