We are handing you herewith a Watford contact breaker lever which has failed on one of our test bed engines due to the lever cracking. Will you please take this matter up with Messrs. North & Sons as we are inclined to think that the material they make their levers from is not as good as Delco Remy. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
