| To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. X4568 X5791 EFCL/T23.1.28. BOSCH MAGNETO FOR 20 HP. X5790 X4568 With reference to the attached letter from the Bosch Co. perhaps you would write to Messrs. J.A. Stevens reminding them that what we asked for was a magneto without a distributor. In view of the fact that they said they could not supply us with such a magneto, we did not think that there was anything more to be said. We do not want a big and heavy magneto for this purpose like the aero GF.12; what we want is a magneto (sleeveless) of similar small dimensions to our present Watford ROL. You might thanks them for the information given in the letter attached and say we regret that this does not interest us at the moment. EFC. | ||
