| X.2641. Extract from R1/G17.6.21. REPORT ON 4EX RETURNED FROM AMERICA. (7) STARTER PRESS BUTTON. Regarding the starter press button, we understood that the slight trouble with this had been cured long ago. If I rightly remember, it consisted of the nut clamping the carbon making contact with the inside of the case, and was cured by covering the inside of the case with insulating material. The press button should have kept this apart. This press button might have a Bakelite plug. R.R. 235a (100) (T.S.H. 798. 10-12-20) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2916 | ||
