| X4021 To EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} from EFC. EFC6/AD13.2.30. X.4021. WATFORD MAGNETOS ON F.{Mr Friese} TYPE TEST. We understand the A.I.D. have offered objection to the fact that the contact breaker covers on these magnetos can move round in one direction so far as to allow the insulated earthing brush holder to touch the cam. to If you will please arrange/let us have these covers as soon as convenient prior to the type test, we will have fitted a stop arrangement to prevent excess radial movement.
