| contd:- -2- KLAXON HORN. This was found to be quite O.K. LAMPS. These have not given any trouble. STARTER MOTOR. This has been carefully examined and apparently is perfectly O.K. Commutator and brushes in excellent condition. STARTER MOTOR SWITCH. This insulation of this switch was found to be O.K. Apparently, however, the oil had been leaking out as on opening up the switch, it was found to contain very little, certainly not enough to cover the contacts. A sediment apparently from the black insulation used was found at the bottom of the case. The tips of the prongs of the inner contact and the corresponding inner edge of the plunger, were slightly burnt, but the outer contact appeared to be O.K. The switch however, has performed its work satisfactorily. SWITCH BOX. This has been tested electrically and shows no fault. WIRING. The wiring on the car, though of course not the finally approved scheme, has nevertheless not given any trouble in service though improvements are in hand in the case of the connections to the head lamps to avoid injuring the wiring when removing this.
