BATTERY IGNITION CONTACT POINTS. X.4284. X.4041 X.4652.

Referring to R2/M20.2.27 the decision arrived at in the above memo apparently cannot be put into real force until :-

a/- Our make and break lever is interchangeable with Delco.
b/- The adjustable point is also, for screwed thread length and general dimensions, replaceable by Delco.

A scheme by which adjustable point only would be interchangeable with Delco does not seem to me to arrive at the end desired.
