| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EPC. c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Rn.{Mr Robinson} EPC9/T24.7.20. X430 X.430. Magnetos. X.699. Ignition. X.1812. Sparking Plugs. We are not really in a position to carry out any serious work on the above three sections, but in the case of magnetos we are having arranged a line of shafting and intend something to make a start on the question of the investigation of magneto performance. In the meanwhile, and seeing that magnetos are of a semi-mechanical nature, we have really had no alternative but to leave such work as could be done on these in Mr. Hives hands. The question of sparking plugs also is one with which in general Mr. Hives is better fitted to deal, but upon which we suppose we should ultimately aim to do some work in conjunction with Mr. Hives.
