2nd March 1939.

We have found that it is unnecessary to bush distributor housings providing the drive shaft does not take any transverse stress external to the distributor. We consider play up to .005" is not excessive between the shaft and housing.

Before fitting a new shaft we await your further remarks and instructions.

Yours faithfully,

S H Lages.
Chief Draughtsman.
