We seem to have an awful lot of trouble with our high tension leads.

The attached note from Waller indicates the usual mis-firing on the last 15,000 miles' test on the P.III.

The Americans do not bunch their cables together as will be seen from the picture of the Oldsmobile in the weight analysis file. Cannot we scheme some simple clips on these lines ?
