Extract from G.W.Hancock's report dated 20.7.30 on 24-EX at 6,000 miles.

X7690.

DISTRIBUTOR TO L.O.P. D.72169.

The distributor contact points are making full contact and show no sign of burning. We have observed that a slight amount of oil works up past the cam, but in no way interferes or gets on to the contact points. It comes from the hand oiling of the distributor and not from the gear casing.
