| To EY. from EFC. X. 3129. EFC 8/T14.11.23. X.3129 - PLATINUM IGNITION POINT & SCREW EX CHASSIS 12YG-WARLEY PICKERING. On testing this condenser we did not find anything wrong with it. The capacity was found to be .211 mf, the limits being .190 to .245 mf. In addition to passing its production test O.K. it has been run for half an hour on the bench to give the chance of possible faulty connections showing themselves, and only occasional sparking was observed to take place at the platinum points. If further trouble with the points occurs on this car it is suggested we should provide this customer with a condenser of 50% increased capacity. We return the condenser and platinum point and screw herewith. EFC. | ||
