| Starter Motor. 260. S/W Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}..from Bp. Lp.{Mr Lappin}1/WT15.4.39 With reference to your Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}19/JH.5.4.39 the mileage done since the started was fitted is 15,185. We have no criticism to make - it has functioned satisfactorily and on all occasions has given excellent, and I think, quicker starts than the standard motor. Lp.{Mr Lappin} | ||
