| EFC. C. EFC. X.2894 BY/RD3/ML1 5.8.28. IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR - SEC:8120. 40/50 AND 20 H.P.CHASSIS. In order to improve the appearance of our contact finger we obtained 6 pressings, from the standard tools, made in nickel silver, further as we are proposing to use tungsten points on the indicator switch and again on E.A.C.10 starter switch we think it would be advisable to attempt to put the points on the various levers at the works instead of having to send all the parts away. We understand that Mr Brook has produced a rolling tool suitable for this job, so we suggest that 6 contact points D.7162] be obtained and put on the nickel silver levers by R.R, they can then be finished off to D.71647 and tested for both material and rivetting. The six levers sent herewith. Duplicate BY/RD. | ||
