| RR 236 (150 BKS.) (DB{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 431-8.12.24) MP 306975 ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. INSTRUCTIONS. To_____________________ Order No._______________ Customer's No.________________ unless Messrs Norths are in future discontinuing the fitting of two ventilation windows in the aluminium casting. The weight of these magnetos is slightly less i.e 14.9 lbs. We would suggest that the distributor holding down nuts should be made larger, they are rather small for the job and might easily get misplaced when fitting wires etc to the distributor. The H.T safety gaps have apparently not yet been increased as requested as they are only 7.5 mm on these magnetos, though we have been given to understand that they are arranging to do this in future magnetos. Signed contd. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
