| EFC. X65P8 BY/HM{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}14/G.1.2.26. 20 H.P. CHASSIS 45-G-3. W.R. SUTTON, ESQ. We recently had a complaint that the ignition coil had failed on the above chassis, and at the same time it was reported that this was the third failure in connection with ignition coils on this particular chassis. In view of this we decided to get the history of the chassis, and for your information we attach hereto copy of same, from which you will note that a fair amount of electrical trouble has been experienced. As the chassis is coming in to the Repair Department during the next few days we have suggested to the Repair Department that you inspect the electrical equipment of the chassis, as BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} is of the opinion that there must be something wrong somewhere to cause continued failure of ignition coils. The Repair Department will be pleased for you to examine the electrical equipment, and we have therefore requested them to let you know immediately the chassis is available. We shall be pleased to have a copy of your report on the chassis in question. BY/HM{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
