| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EFC. T4583 EFC1/T11.5.23. c. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} c. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/Mr. Brock. STEERING COLUMN IGNITION SWITCH FITTED WITH MOULDENSITE INSULATED DRUM Please receive herewith copy of my assistants report on test of steering column ignition switch fitted with mouldensite insulated drum instead of standard stabalite insulated drum. From the results of this test we have no hesitation in recommending the substitution of this material for the stabalite, and as this does not involve a change in design, a standardisation sheet is not considered necessary.
