| Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MA.5.7.33. BUTLERS STOP LAMP SWITCHES. We have had a failure of one of these switches on chassis 18.G.4. which recently completed 15,000 miles running in France. The failure was due to the Phosphor Bronze spring contacts working through and fracturing. We are taking up this matter formally with the Makers. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
