Improved ventilation of the head, and protecting these ventilation holes by gauze to reduce the fire risk. No.3. Two ribs added to the high tension rotor to give a fan action. No.4. The cam spindle is made longer so that it will be better controlled in the governor sleeve. No.5. The bottom face of the rotating head has been bushed, so that there will be a minimum of friction when advancing the ignition by the hand controls. No.6. Shape of condenser bracket altered and the condenser connection. Will you please get this instructed as soon as possible. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
