G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} S. to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} C. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4309 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4309 Re - Condor Starter Motor Switch. The switch which was handed over to us by the Experimental Dept., has been fitted up on an engine and proved quite satisfactory. When the engine is in the position of having the starter clutch in engagement with the spring drive clutch, the switch can be properly opened and is certainly now considered a good job. It will no doubt be decided to modify all switches which are at present in service providing which an order number will be required, and the necessary instructions given to the Works to produce modified pieces for fitting outside, or the modifying of the switches when returned.
