Re X.3199.-BATTERY IGNITION (GENERAL).
X.2814.-REMY IGNITION.

Herewith please receive tabular comparison of Remy 12, Remy 6 and Delco Ignitions, together with some notes on this comparison.

We have yet to experiment on Remy 6 and Remy 12 re consumptions and actions at various speeds and gaps; also we hope, perhaps, to be able to offer some suggestions for numerical data connected with the design of our own Battery Ignition, to which the attached is preparatory.
