| To By/RD. c. to Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/SB.{Mr Bull/Mr Bannister} 6145 Wst/RC.{R. Childs}14/JH.8.4.37. We have received a report concerning a failure occuring on a customers' car, due to water finding its way into the ignition ballast box, We understand that a modification has already been made which provides a drain hole at one end of the box, but as it is possible to assemble the moulding so that the drain hole is at the wrong end we think it is advisable to provide a hole at both ends, thereby eliminating this possibility. Will you please arrange accordingly. Wst/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
