| C.EFC. X3587. EJB1/EG.9.2.31. X.3584. RE: CHASSIS GLR.59.RIPPON BROS.LTD. We have received 1 D.51632 Starter Motor Ex: Chassis GLR.59 - Rippon Bros. Ltd, complete with D.51575 (3 cork type) drive. We have had this drive on test and it appears to be quite O.K. We find however that the heavy spring is of the old type, and it is a bit lighter in load than the one we are at present fitting. In common with our usual practice we are changing this spring and are returning the Starter Motor to R.D. E.J.Brock. | ||
