WST RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. X6119 BY/RD2/W.28-10-32. "Peregrine II". Ignition Distributor, Sec.8120. We hand you herewith two blue prints of :- D.53912 - Cam. Will you please have six sets of these put in hand. The difference between this and its predecessor is that we have given a larger radii on the corner with the contacts open for quieter operation, and a revised keyway to give rotor blades more nearly in the ideal position. An L.O.P. alteration will follow in due course. BY/RD. [STAMP: RECEIVED NOV 1932] | ||
