RECEIVED X 3699 X 3530 MAGNETO DRIVE & FITTINGS. --------------------------- Referring to the question of the improved drive for the magneto of the serrated form, I would like to know how far you have got with this proposition, so far as testing is concerned. We understand, of course, that the fabric coupling has been turned down, but we were expecting to hear something in regard to the serrated type. Has it got so far that a standardisation sheet can be issued. We propose to produce "O" series in the present type, but "P" series is still open. "O" series is 1501 to 2000 and "P" series 2001 to 2500. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
