Petrol Reserve Tap - Electrically Operated - D.CD.893 Modified. Section 8310. To enable the Solenoid to operate efficiently at a lower voltage ranging from 7.5 volts cold to 9.5 volts hot, an improved iron circuit has been added, together with a longer plunger and shorter pole piece. Will you therefore, please put in hand 6 sets of new parts as follows :- DW.918 - End Plate - Front. 1 off. DW.919 - End Plate - Rear. 1 off. DW.920 - Outer Casing. 1 off. DW.921 - Valve Facing. 1 off. DW.922 - Pole Piece, 1 off. DW.923 - Plunger. 1 off. DW.924 - Guide - Plunger. 1 off. DW.925 - Seating - Valve Spring. 1 off. DW.926 - Spindle - Valve. 1 off. DW.927 - Assembly of Valve Spindle. DW.928 - Assembly of Solenoid and Tap Body. DW.929 - Petrol Reserve Tap LOP. To avoid scrap, the following 6 sets of parts already instructed (3 sets to BY/RD.3/B.31.10.38 and 3 sets to BY/RD.5/B.16.1.39) should be used again :- -Contd- | ||
