| To RS.{Sir Henry Royce's Secretary} from EFC. X4275 EFC5/T7.9.27. U.S.A. BOSCH IGNITION. We would like to have back the U.S.A. contact breaker lever which was sent as a sample contact point experiment, together with contact point, under cover of our EFC1/T18.5.27. We have only two of these levers, and we wish to do further experiments. Owing to the fact that material is transferred from the point to the lever, we are mostly now keeping (or sending) only the points as samples and having the lever points re-faced for further tests. We have spare screw points and so it is not necessary to send the screw point if you desire to keep it. EFC. | ||
