| To PY/RD. from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} X7740 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T25.5.25. X.7740. EAC. DISTRIBUTION BOX. Herewith copy of our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T14.5.25. We think you might alter your drawings and give a definite instruction to the effect that the points are not to meet squarely but that the moving point should be 1/32" higher than the fixed point in position on the chassis. We look upon this matter as of some importance in view of the fact that the contact points on the car in France are going badly, due to this want of rubbing action. EFC. {E.
