To Mr. Brock.
from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer}

EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} /T4.4.29.

IGNITION COIL.

The 20,000 turn coil with which you provided us to our instruction EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} /T2.2.29 has also paraffin wax paper insulation which we did not require.

We would like you to wind another coil for us to O {Mr Oldham} /N.54733 precisely as present standard production with the one exception - that it has 20,000 turns in place of 18,000.

This is a variation with which we have not experimented so far, and we are desirous of observing the effect of the additional 2000 turns on an otherwise exactly standard coarser gauge primary coil.
