| X.8783ch. EFC. 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. 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.
