The general condition of the points can be considered to be only fair; the wear, good. The tester on the chassis test reports that these points required trimming more frequently than usual, and that the apparent oxidation of the points tended to cause rather worse low speed sparking on the engine than when the points had been trimmed and cleaned. His opinion is that these points are not as good as the platinum (Std). Signed H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
