| XL4105 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T18.12.25. X.4105 - CUTOUT CONTACT POINT EXPERIMENTS. Herewith we hand you back two distribution boards with cutouts with .150" and .137" necks respectively, and rigid fixed contact point support. These have been duly tested and passed, to our production test. Would you please have these two boards fitted as follows :- The one with .150" neck to 11-GIII, as we have not got cutout contact points of this type yet on the expl. 20 HP. The one with .137" neck to 10-EX. (Alternatively to 9-EX or 11-EX if desired). Please advise us of the fitting of these. We would like to have one of the standard distribution boards which are removed from the chassis for use in here on dynamo tests. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
