Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} /Thn6/H13.3.23. re - Excessive wear on battery ignition low tension contact breaker rollers and pins. We have a complaint from Cricklewood that excessive wear takes place on the above mentioned parts on post-war cars, which they suggest is due to the fact that the platinum tipped blade is very much stronger than those which were used on pre-war cars, and they go on to ask what is the reason why these parts should be stronger than on pre-war cars. We shall be glad to receive your comments in regard to N.Department's criticism. EP {G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} /Thn. | ||
