| X. 3630. Extract from E9/G21.8.19. R.E CHASSIS 1 EX - GENERAL NOTES. I am directed by Mr. Royce to send you infor- mation concerning the following points which we would like altered:- (2) MAGNETO. X. 3630. It is not easy to remove the high tension distrib- utor from the Watford Magneto. Mr. Royce agrees that a sloping base plate should be tried, shch as we have used in the past for other magnetos. This should cant the magneto out sufficiently to allow straight forward accounts to the distributor securing screw nearest to the engine. | ||
