SUBJECT Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of 13th. inst. we note that you require the side outlet Distributor Cap Cover. We can fit side outlet caps to this particular Distributor, as we have just four in stock, but we would like to know from you how many more of these you are likely to order so that we can get some more from the Factory to take care of your requirements. We also note that the rotation of the Distributor is the reverse to those which you have been taking in the past, and the ones you are ordering are for clockwise rotation viewed from the rotor, which will be counter-clockwise at the driving end. We also note the automatic advance figures are shown in Distributor degrees and R.P.M. We are having these put in hand immediately. Yours faithfully, B. Rushton M.I.A.E. Technical Director.
