Conto. RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HW.

On the 19th we carried out ignition tests. & had to make 4 studs to fit the Delco distributor, including draining the tank to try different petrols & a return to re time the engine. This accounts for a further 3 hours.

We trust this explanation is satisfactory & will bear in mind that no work is to be done unless absolutely essential.
