| To E.F.C. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X 8790 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG27.5.24 SPECIFICATION OF MAGNETO ON 40/50 HP. We consider the maximum speed of 3,300 revs. is too high for a 40/50 HP. engine. At the present time the valves leave their seats just over 2,500 revs. so that the engine will not run much above that speed. If we fix the maximum speed at 2,700 revs., this, we consider, will allow ample margin. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
