To: board Order No. ______ Customer's No. ______ 19__ (3) it is immaterial in which direction the grain lies as the cam is lubricated by an oil soaked felt pad. There was no corrosion of the metal parts of the distributor, such as we found on the Peregrine distributor. This is due to the fact that ample ventilation is provided. The general condition is very fair but it is considered that with the exception of corrosion our new double breaker distributor is superior in every respect. Signed J.C.
