Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC{R. Childs}/2/JH OUR REF. CKD/YH. 11th April, 1940. SUBJECT Dear Sirs, With reference to your letter of the 21st March which we regret has not been answered earlier, the four Distributors with side outlet caps type 662NX2 have now been despatched to you. With regard to the other types as mentioned in your last paragraph, we anticipate that we shall be able to fulfill your requirements as and when called for. Regarding the four cylinder distributor, we would like to draw your attention to the type SM.1009 described and illustrated on page 3 of the enclosed booklet which we think might possibly be advantageously considered in place of the small type as fitted to the Sunbeam Talbot car. The SM.1009 as you will see also has a side outlet type of cap and is generally a more robust and preferable distributor where space and other considerations permit its use. Yours faithfully, C.
