Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X6052 R.1/M/31.8.32. NEW TYPE OF CIRCULAR CONDENSER FOR R.R. BATTERY IGNITION Regarding your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.3/KT23.8.32, I am very pleased that you are so hopeful of the improvements that we shall get with the new type of condenser. Be very careful about the life of the contact points. I quite agree that the more constant capacity ought to give us a great advantage in the behaviour of the engine when hot, and slow running.
