SEIZURE OF BATTERY IGNITION CONTACT LEVERS. Answering your Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}31/E12.10.31 we have not heard from W.W. with regard to our suggestion, but we are arranging with Ey. for a self lubricated pivot to be made up and fitted to 18-GIV. If the result of that test is satisfactory we shall circulate a standardisation sheet in the usual way. We shall also run a bench endurance test at the same time as the chassis test.
