| -3- The price of this F.O.B. Springfield, complete with distributor and coil, would be $14.00. I think the most conclusive evidence of the superiority of American Bosch magnetos is the one simple fact that two years ago we enjoyed but 10% of the magneto business of the United States. Today we enjoy practically 50% of the magneto business of the entire world. If you will have the English Company give us an ignition curve of the Rolls-Royce Motor, or if you will allow us to put the motor on our dynamometer here, we will be pleased to supply Derby sample battery sets with automatic advance fitted to the curve of the motor, that is of the same high calibre as the magneto. Yours very truly, Sgd. A. {Mr Adams} T. Murray. President. [Watermark: MADE IN CROXLEY] R.R. 250A. (100 T/S) H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 728. 10-12-20.
