contained in his Cyl/G18.7.21, in which he states that three
connections are made to each condenser plate at equal
distances. Even with this number of connections, we found
that this amount of capacity (.5 mf) is still not quite as
effective on our own ignition as two of our own condensers,
totalling .43 mf, placed in parallel.

In connection with the Gos.II battery ignition,
we hope soon to have the new Bosch sets and to go completely
into the question of the electrical quantities of the two
ignitions, as was done previously in arranging those of our
present standard chassis ignition.

In the case of the U.S.A. Bosch battery
ignition, it will be remembered that different values of
ballast resistance wire supplied to enable this to be
used either as a 6 volt or 12 volt battery ignition.
