SUBJECT 19th December . 1935. Dear Sirs, With further reference to the writer's visit to your Works on Tuesday, the 17th instant, I would remind you that you gave instructions for a complete drawing of the layout of the ignition on the Bentley to be sent to me with a view to a new design of bracket which carries our timing arm control, being sent to you. This we believe to be a more sound method of earthing the ignition. As soon as these drawings come along we will go into these and submit other proposals. Yours faithfully, B. Rushton Technical Manager. | ||
