Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/CEP8/H15.9.23. X.4273 re. Ignition Coil Failures. We have now received from Mr. Brock the following Coils:- No. 3478 Ex Chassis 20-KG. 3115 Ex Chassis 58-S-3. According to Mr. Brock, both these coils have been repaired. We shall be pleased to hear from you if it is now in order to use these coils on production, in view of the remark contained in your EFC4/T21.8.23 that "once a coil has given any sign of having failed, it should not be returned again for production, even after what appears to be a perfectly satisfactory production test".
