| RR 238 (300 Bks.) (SF 152. 6-11-18.) MP 197880 ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. To: E.F.C. 19 Order No: PB.122 (3) Customer's No. surface, and are little reduced by wear. Cam. This appears to have been wiped clean when taken off so that the amount of lubricant on it cannot be ascertained. There are no signs of rust. Rotor This is sufficiently burned away to form a flat on the periphery, and is fairly dirty. Head and Sparking Points. Oil seems to have got into the distributor head, the H T carbon brush in particular being thickly covered. The points are slightly pitted, but there are no signs of corrosion. The presence of oil in the distributor probably accounts for the point of sparking on the rotor blade, and the contacts points, being so dirty. Signed: Cont'd. {John DeLooze - Company Secretary} This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
