Dear Sir:- COPY X 2641 - Re: Parts on 4-EX Starter Press Button We understand that it is proposed at Derby to use an Ebonite nut on the moving arm for clamping the carbon contact, but as we explained to Mr. Platford on his visit, we do not think that this is as strong or satisfactory a job as rivetting a piece of Micarta on the inside of the switch cover.
