IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR - SEC:8120.

PHANTOM AND E.A.C. V11.

Please receive herewith blueprints of the new parts to L.Cs. - 2380 & 2388, Make and Break Rocker and Rotor. -

D.71333 - Rotor.
D.71334 - Ventilator.
D.71335 - Contact Finger.
D.71336 - Rocker Block.

Taking a standard distributor D.71793 these parts replace -

D.50075 - Contact Finger.
D.50080 - Rocker Block.
D.50711 - Ventilator.
D.50751 - Rotor.

and we do not think it is necessary to make up the whole distributor as these new parts are so easily put on to any chassis.

It will be necessary to produce a mould for D.71333 as ebonite would not be suitab]e.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}

Will you please put 4 sets in hand - two levers to have Iridio-Platinum points D.50467 and two with Tungsten points D.51408.
