| X4338 Extract from GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 2/RP.23.4.26. Report on Chassis 10-GIII after 7526 Miles. Electrical Fittings. X.4338. X.5780. Elliott ammeter. This has given no trouble and has worked quite satsifactorily. Ignition coil. Ignition coil with finer primary GP.1. We have found no defects with this. Distributor box. Distributor box C type cutout, contacts with rigid backing and rigid fixed point support. The contacts were in good condition and have functiond O.K. 40/50 type Klaxon switch and wire. This has operated setisfactorily. Rear tail lamp. The rear tail lamp has been broken due to stones hitting it. We have fitted a new lamp. We continue to break the filament of the rear bulb. These will not stand the rough bouncing on the roads. The wiring udder front wings for N.S. and O.S. side lamp has broken in two. It has been necessary to fit new wires. We do not consider the lead covered wire suitable, and more robust clips should be fitted. | ||
