X4275 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG25.6.21. X.4275 X.3129. MODIFIED SPIGOT FOR BATTERY IGNITION. With reference to the sketch for the modified spigot on the battery ignition which has been recommended for use with the Bosch Battery Ignition at Springfield. We strongly recommend that this modification should also be incorporated on the 40/50 cars made at Derby. Nearly all cars which come in for repair, require attention on this part.
