STARTER BUTTON PIGTAILS
The design of these has been improved and a Depot Sheet issued for fitting the new type retrospectively.

SHORTS IN REGULATOR BOX
A cure for this trouble has been found and a Depot Sheet issued.

sticking of regulator contacts
This trouble is under consideration. In the meantime a fuse is being added experimentally to save the regulator from burning up.

FAULTY AMMETERS
These troubles have been taken up with the makers and a design is being modified to eliminate the troubles.

BIG END BEARING
Works are anxious about the durability of the fork rod bearing. A modified bearing consisting of a loose aluminium alloy bush is showing promise. This modification could be applied to existing rods and an investigation is being made of what work and expense will be entailed in carrying out this alteration.
