| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. X2894 EFC2/T13.10.25. X.2894 - TUNGSTEN POINTS. You may not have noticed that original instruction for putting tungsten points on 9-GIII was cancelled by our EFC2/T1.10.25, in view of the fact that we had in the meantime put a finer primary coil FP.{F. Potts}1 on 9-GIII. It now transpires that you have both finer primary coil and tungsten points on 9-GIII which we had wished to avoid, and we should be glad if you would have the tungsten points, or alternatively the coil, exchanged for those on chassis 11-GIII, thus putting the matter in order. Please advise us whether you change the coil or the points. EFC. | ||
