Made from absolutely the finest materials, combined with many years of experience and fine workmanship, these should be of great interest to you. We are confident that we can help you To increase the regular running of the engine; To improve engine starting; To reduce petrol consumption; and Generally to reduce Magneto troubles. All the above improvements have been actually made by the introduction of our Magnetos to certain firms and, to quote merely one instance, we have recently supplied a firm with 1500 Magnetos without having had a single reject or request for the replacement of any spare part. We do not supply Impulse Starters as we claim that our Magnetos will do all that is necessary without this accessory. As regards the main factor - PRICE - we claim that we can give the best value obtainable to-day and, on receipt of your enquiries, shall be pleased to submit particulars of substantial competitive DISCOUNTS. Experimental research and practical testing is carried out continuously in our modern Works' Laboratories maintaining our Magnetos at the highest point of efficiency and ensuring that they embody all that is best in latest practice. Yours faithfully, For THE SALMSON MAGNETO COMPANY, | ||
