Regarding the starter switch it has occurred to me that you might like to fit a cheaper edition of the magnetic one with press button control; it would add to the perfection of operation and might help to sell a chassis for a few shillings extra it would cost. We could also make the parts interchangeable with other models, therefore have less pattern, and have something ready to hand. | ||
