X.3199 - CONTACT BREAKER FOR DELCO IGNITION SYSTEM ON PACKARD CAR. X.2814.

If you have done all you want with the above, which I understand you have with you at West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town), would you kindly return this at the earliest opportunity, as we are making a number of investigations of different battery ignition systems, and we would like to compare a complete Delco system with the Remy six.
