| -2- Contd. This operation at present may take ten seconds or five minutes, particularly in the dark, as three studs have to be entered simultaneously into holes at the bottom of the lid{A. J. Lidsey} about 2" deep. Some form of 'lead-in' to the holes is required. (c) IGNITION. Platinum points of the contact breaker were found to be very rough and burned at 8700 miles, but were still operating satisfactorily. They were, however, replaced with spares. (d) LAMPS. The headlamps and side lamps, which were on the wings, and their bulbs stood the test very well, but the tail lamp was completely destroyed by flying stones and had been replaced by a cheap lamp with celluloid window obtained locally. The bulbs repeatedly failed in this lamp. [Watermark] DICKINSON & CO. BOND 1804 MADE AT CROXLEY | ||
