Referring to the paragraph of Mr.Hancock's report dealing with the ignition coil, and reading as follows :- "The coil started to cause mis-fires after a milage of approximately 8,000, and after a further 700 miles it would not fire the mixture. Test taken on an open circuit the spark was very poor. A spare coil fitted was OK. The coil was sent back to Derby for investigation." Attached please find copy of my assistant's report WD{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}61 dealing with observations made upon this coil after being received back from France. EFC. | ||
