No precise information I'm afraid, but as far as I know all P-types had
Rotax switches, though of course, by this time Rotax was only a trading name
of Lucas...

In researching parts sources for my PB, I contacted a supplier here in the
US regarding ignition/lighting switches. He claimed that a Rotax switch was
correct.

I was always under the impression that the change-over from Rotax to Lucas
switches was early in the production of the J-type. This would put it around
late 1932, well before the production of the P-types.

Can anyone provide more definitive information on the cutover from Rotax to
Lucas ignition switches?
