X.3513. RE PARTS IN BAKELITE. X.2641.

I can see on the push button switch for the starter motor (LeC.381) a piece of moulded ebonite which looks as though it would be an excellent small piece for yourf first experimental piecexin bakelite. If, however, this is being made satisfactorily, we ought to make an effort to make some other part, a supply of which we are wanting.
