| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EH. c. to BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} x.3439 EH4/LG15.8.19. 15th. Aug. 1919. RE MARKINGS ON FLYWHEEL ON 40/50 CHASSIS. We notice that the chassis' on test have the late ignition mark on the flywheel in the old position. When the range of the battery ignition was altered due to using non-trembler ignition we assumed that the marking on the flywheel would be altered at the same time. The late ignition on the flywheel should now be 10° after dead-point. Will you please issue the necessary instructions as regards having this altered on Cars already made. EH. | ||
