WATFORD AERO MAGNETO.

We have received a letter from Messrs. North & Sons. in answer to the one which we sent and which I shewed to you, demanding a 30° range for magnetos.

In the letter now received you will notice that they propose the use of their automatic advance mechanism to give the remaining 15°.

We shall be interested to know your opinion of this proposal. The print No.589-1 which they have sent is also attached for your information.
