| X4021 C. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} C. Ey. C. Houlding. EFC3/AD. 10th January, 1930. Messrs. North & Sons.Ltd. Whippendell Rd., Watford. Dear Sirs, Watford Aero Magnetos. Further to our EFC1/AD. of today's date, and with further reference to F.14. type test engine magnetos Nos.98033/4, it is now pointed out that the contact breaker base plate has not yet been modified to the most recently approved pattern and that this alteration is necessary before the machines can be utilised on a type test. Will you kindly advise us as to what parts of the two magnetos you will require to be returned to you to enable this change to be effected. The point now referred to was, we understand, under discussion between your Mr.Allen and our Mr.Lightbound during the recent visit of your representatives. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
