| To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from EFC. X4021 EFC1/T14.12.26. X.4021. WATFORD AERO MAGNETO TYPE IS:12. We hand you herewith the distributor of magneto No.83137 of the above type. This distributor has broken down while running on the bench. Please find attached copy of my assistant's report WB.{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell}120 from which you will see that it is considered that the jumping over distance from the two high tension terminals in the neighbourhood of the metal fixture for clamping the distributor to that metal fixture should be increased. We should be pleased if you would return this distributor to Messrs. Norths, and we would like to have a replacement as soon as possible. EFC. | ||
