To: EFE Order No: 25 Customer's No.: 1 Re: X.3199 Utility Test of Spark-coil or Magneto X.430 In place of high non-inductive resistances the secondary of a second standard RR ignition - coil was connected across the gap of a standard RR battery ignition, and various resistances used in its primary. A single gap with third point was used. Max-gap with second coil disconnected = .37" With second coil, primary open = .22" " carbon resistance loose across primary = .15" " " tight across primary = .07" (Cont'd) This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
