| X2894g Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from EFC. c. to By/WER. EFC1/T1.12.21. X.4357 - "GOSHAWK II" DISTRIBUTOR CONTACT POINTS. X2894 Would you kindly arrange to obtain half a dozen sets of low tension contact rivets (D.50539) and low tension contact screws (D.50540), fitted by Messrs. Melin with tungsten points. We do not think Messrs. Reynolds supply tungsten points as suggested by Mr. Robinson in his note By/WER1/EF29.11.21. The best results we have had from tungsten have been with those obtained from Messrs. Melin. EFC. Repeated 7/7/22 for S. | ||
