Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, Your reference Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.4/AD. In reply to your letter of 29th September, the question of whether the contact lever, or the screw in the distributor should be insulated, is merely a matter of constructional convenience. In some designs we find it more convenient to insulate the one member, and in some designs the other. Yours faithfully, JOSEPH LUCAS LIMITED. ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT. NST | ||
