| X4105 To FHC. from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T7.12.25. X.4105 - CUTOUT CONTACT POINT EXPERIMENTS. Apparently a mistake was made in removing the distribution box from 7-EX, for instance,/one which you hended to us and which we returned to you, this containing, as it did, Reynold contact points and rigid cuntact point support for mileage test, with a view to standardisation of Reynold points. Our instruction EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T5.11.25 did not ask for the removal of the distribution box from 7-EX, but from 9-GIII and 98-NK, and two distribution boxes were given to you for putting on these two chassis, in place of those removed. Apparently one of these has been fitted to 7-EX and it may as well now remain there. Therefore, the other one and the one taken from 7-EX should now be put on 9-GIII and 98-NK and the boxes removed returned to us, after carrying out the instruction referred to below. I hope you will be able to give attention to this - it seems [redacted] difficult to make quick progress with these small, though possibly quite definite, improvements. The instructions are contained in EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T5.11.25 for re-arranging the two standard distribution boxes which are removed with the reduced necks. EFC. {E.
