NEW TYPE OF CIRCULAR
CONDENSER FOR R.R. BATTERY
IGNITION.

Regarding your HS {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /WST3/KT23832., I am very pleased that you are so hopeful of the improvements that we shall get with the new type of condenser. Be very careful about the life of the contact points. I quite agree that the more constant capacity ought to give us a great advantage in the behaviour of the engine when hot, and slow running.

R. {Sir Henry Royce}
