| X.6020b. 18.12.30. Extract from report on 18-CIV at 6,000 miles. Ignition wires to LOP. E.53204. Aluminium tube E.56158 carrying H.T. wires, to 1321. We consider that this tube and the spacing of the wires is much neater and a definite improvement over the present standard. There is no sign of deterioration of the ignition wires. We would suggest a further improvement by making the top bakelite support in black to conform with the black aluminium tubes. | ||
