| DELCO-REMY & HYATT, LTD. page two. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd., Derby. use paint on this job because of the electrical connection we take through it to ground. We have taken special care of the fixing of this gear and have recorded the position of the wide slot in relation to the rotor so that you can depend on all future deliveries being timed to this location. We have, also, given you your latest automatic advance curve so that actually you have here the complete job. With regard to the distributor cap screws we have not made any changes in these, but these are under consideration and we feel sure that you will not experience any trouble. We are having an outline drawing done and this will be enclosed with this letter. Should there be any further details you would like to discuss you will be able to make suitable comments on the drawing for us. We should like to have this as soon as possible as we have the other three distributors well in hand. We trust this distributor will be to your satisfaction. Yours faithfully, Ben Rushton Ben.Rushton. TECHNICAL MANAGER. | ||
