X3485 RE "GOSHAWK II" - REVISED IGNITION GOVERNOR.

We send you herewith drawing Lec.1432 shewing the above. The crankcase remains unaltered and the details for the ignition mechanism itself still apply. The governor, however, has been entirely redesigned.

No further information is required by you additional to this drawing for finishing off the ignition tower.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
