| Magnetos. (Re use of fibre in connection with the make and break) TBB3/L2912. Mr Platford 2.9.12. Kirby reports from the Bombay depot that when fibre is used in connection with the make and break of the magneto, this often causes the make and break to stick up. Have you any experience of this trouble ? Will you kindly advise me as we may have to take the matter up with the Bosch Co. X H 30 | ||
