Owing to the rapid wear developing between the distributor tower and base, we should like the above car to be modified and fitted with a bronze bush. The drawing Nos. are: D.52762. D.52763. These pieces have already been used on several units with some success. We are working at a further improvement to this part which is of a less temporary measure. E/JNR.{Charles L.
