| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}S/KW.23.12.35. (5) Name Plate. This is made straight and sprung round distributor body and then pinned in position. On test this fastening has sprung away. We suggest that the name plate is first rolled to conform to shape of distributor body before fastening, or as an alternative a much more secure method of fixing. (6) Bakelite distributor top needs to be located much better on distributor body, at present this can move considerably on its location and vary the gap between the rotor distributor terminals.
