| X6096 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } from R.{Sir Henry Royce} EFC. } RL/M8.11.27. c. BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RR. BATTERY IGNITION. X.8692. X.8690. [handwritten above X.8690: 7690] At the first possible moment we want you to standardise the scrubbing tungsten points, and the new system of spring to the contact maker. We understand that this will now bring our battery ignition to a state of complete satisfaction, but I am not sure whether we have solved the difficulty of tracking in the distributor.
