| X.2894. EFC/AT30119. X.3296. Jan. 30th 1919. 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. | ||
