In reply to yours EFC3/T29.1.26, North & Sons Ltd., have written us as follows:- "After consideration of the matter we think that if you decide to "run one or two more magnetos with the cast aluminium cover over "the armature it would be better for us to send one or two of the "new magnetos we are delivering to you, with these covers fitted, "and if this suggestion meets with your approval, we shall be "pleased to fit up one or two magnetos with this type of cover "plate and the modified high tension pick up which it is necessary "to use with it". If you agree with North's proposal, please let me know, and I will arrange for same to be carried out. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
