X.4081 - GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) SWITCHBOX+

We should like to know what it is intended to do with regard to making the locked ignition switch of this switchbox adaptable also to the magneto, where one is used, as in its present form it appears to be an impossibility to arrange for locking the ignition if the magneto is used.
