To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EFC. EFC3/T11.9.19. X.2641 - PUSH BUTTON SWITCH A case has now come to our notice of a push button switch developing an earth between the moving lever and the push button, after several days satisfactory use on a car, owing apparently to the little insulating button not being suitable. We attach a copy of this occurrence as reported to me, and will be glad if you will look into this with a view to avoiding further trouble in this direction. You will remember the possibility ofthis was pointed out in our EFC4/T20.8.19. EFC. | ||
