| TO Mr. C. EFC. X7690 BY/RD5/AL7.4.27. DISTRIBUTOR - EARTH CONTACT SPRING. 40/50 & 20 H.P - SEC:8120. We are constantly getting complaints that it is almost impossible to get a condenser out of the distributor and in several cases the spring in the tunnel is so strong that it pulls off the bottom of the condenser case, therefore, as we do not rely solely on this spring for earthing the condenser, we suggest trying a more flexible one and send herewith print of D.51528 - Clip spring for condenser. Would you please have 3 put in hand and fitted to Distributor. BY/RD | ||
