MAGNETOS

Kindly note Mr. Kirby and Mr. Allen propose coming through on Tuesday next, the 7th instant, to discuss Magneto matters generally, and will bring with them:

(a) Modified Chassis Magnetos cut by their improved process

(b) Possibly three of the 4 12-cylinder Aero Magnetos we recently returned to them, as Farnborough state they only want one of these 12-cylinder magnetos for their purpose, and the remaining 3 should be sent back to Derby so that they can be subjected to further test - details of which Mr. Kirby will advise when he comes on Tuesday - always provided he can get hold of the 3 magnetos in question. It is thought possibly there will be some difficulty with Release Notes etc.
