| (F-54) 1st January, 1941. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}9/EM. Messrs. Lucas Ltd., Great King Street, BIRMINGHAM 19. For the attention of Mr. Crupper. Dear Sirs, Some time ago we obtained from your firm a DK4-C type distributor with a view to fitting it to one of our experimental units. This to be used in conjunction with one of your vacuum controls. We find, however, that in order to fit it, three minor alterations are necessary:- 1. The H.T. wires should come out at the side instead of the top. 2. The bracket holding the vernier control should have the eye rolled over below instead of above. 3. The position of the hole for the locating screw is altered. We have attached a print showing these requirements. We have the distributor, if you can supply the different type cap and modified bracket. We shall be very grateful for your advice in this matter. Yours faithfully, | ||
