| To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. Roy. {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} Mx. {John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} X7791 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 5/T18.1.28. WATFORD EW6 MAGNETOS. Further to our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T18.1.28 of this morning, we regret we overlooked the fact which should have been stated that magneto No.99171 was sent to us by Mr. North as a magneto suitable for electrical performance only, and that therefore we should not regard the failure of this to operate correctly mechanically as a point in the general disfavour of the machines. Also the number was given in error as 77191. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
