| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} WST - C119 E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}2/HP.5.11.34. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} SpectreCodename for Phantom III Ignition Distributor. We send you herewith drawing LeC.4177 showing the distributor head to be produced by us to replace the Delco head which was first fitted. A new rotor is required to balance the longer rotor finger. The object in making this ourselves is to introduce those refinements and design features which we consider are worth while. The Bakelite moulds for these two pieces may be put in hand as soon as possible. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
