| F.R. 40 (45) (SD676 19-7-17) M P 180865 (BY19/H.15.6.20) - 2 - was sent through, but I did not scrap existing parts because there was no recorded case of failure due to the coil itself being bad, but in the case of the alteration to the Starter Gear on the Gear Box, at the rear end of the shaft, which seriously affected the rate at which the dog was drawn in and out, I have instructed that all cars shall be modified by having the hole in the Starter Dog added.
