| X.8783ch. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. to Dy. {F R Danby} Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} /NRC {N. R. Chandler} 3/KW11.5.28. Distributor Rotors. We have to-day handed to EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} two Bakelite Rotors in which the insulation has completely failed and is considerably charred. Both of these are from Phantoms which have been running for less than a year. The trouble is not frequent and we can only recall perhaps less than a dozen cases, but we certainly feel that we should put the matter on record. Hm {Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} /NRC. {N. R.
