| EFC. X2894 BY/Cgh{W Clough}7/G.13.4.28. MAKE AND BREAK CONTACT POINTS. With reference to the tungsten points which we are now fitting on the make and break levers, as you are aware we include a small file in the tool kit for cleaning up the contact points, but we understand that a file is no use with tungsten points, therefore if you agree we propose to delete these files from the tool kits, and at the same time we would like to have your recommendations in regard to what should be done for touching up the contact, so that if necessary instructions can be given to customers, and our instruction books corrected accordingly.
