Messrs. The Delco Electric Co.,
14, Panton Street,
London S.W.1

Dear Sirs,

For the attention of Mr. Kennington.

We have duly received the five liberty dis-
tributor rings you have forwarded to us with the more
flexible connection also four tungsten contacts and screws
and a half dozen spare carbon high tension brushes. We
have changed the distributors and have now given instruct-
ions for the five distributors of older design to be return-
ed{J. L. Edwards} to you straight away.

Supposing we wished to use contacts of similar
material to yours in our ignition, would it be possible
to obtain wire, from which these contacts aremade, in
order to make up these contacts ourselves on our springs
and screws?

Yours faithfully,


H.R. 235A (500 T) (S.D. 408. 26-4-17.) Bm. 2/156/13.
