| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. X 2375 EFC3/T31.3.24. X.2375 - WATFORD E.6 MAGNETOS - CHASSIS 115EE. - LIECHTI. - Herewith two magneto contact breakers; the one marked E.117 is the one taken from the magneto on 115EE. In connection with the complaint of burning away of the points which we desire to investigate, will you kindly have the positioning pin on the other contact breaker (E.93) put round in the other hole, so as to make it similar to the contact breaker E.117. This is to enable this old E.93 contact breaker to be suitable for the purposes of the test. EFC. | ||
