| X.437 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to CJ. R5/G17.5.20. X2375 RE MAGNETOS. X437 I have not yet consulted Mr. Johnson as to his opinion, but I certainly think we ought not to put Bosch magnetos on our car unless we are sure that they are made in England by the people who have taken over the Bosch company, which I believe is in the control of Vickers, but I shall also be very pleased to hear what is wrong with the Watford magneto.
