| Contd. -2- Qy/GS.12.20. These magnetos are all extensively used in this country under very arduous conditions in big cars, trucks and tractors, and we believe that at least they would not give less satisfactory service than the Watford, with which we are having a great deal of trouble. All repairs on Watford magnetos have to be carried out through the Service Station and are a direct drain on our resources, whereas adjustments of American magnetos can be carried out by the local service stations of the magneto manufacturers. | ||
