September 29th, 1931.

The Joseph Lucas Research Laboratories,
Well St,
Birmingham.

For the attention of Dr. E.O. Turner.

Dear Sirs,

We notice on the distributor we are testing for you that the contact lever is insulated and the screw point earthed.

Have you found any technical advantage in this or is it just a method of construction most economical?

We should be pleased to have your remarks on this.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
