Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 4-0 6-9-26 BY/Cgh{W Clough}2/G.6.9.26. CHASSIS NO. GCK-70. H.N. ASHTON, ESQ. --------------------------------------- With reference to Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/NRC{N. R. Chandler}13/EW3.9.26. we were not aware that we had much trouble with the platinum points on the 20 HP. chassis, but the above appears to be a bad case. We have discussed the matter with EFC. and when the chassis is received at the Works he would like to have an opportunity of inspecting same before anything is dismantled, and probably it may be considered advisable to replace both the ignition coil and the distributor with new ones, so that EFC. can have the originals for investigation purposes.
