X5790 To EY/RD. from EFC. EFC2/T28.3.27. X8796 X5790 MODIFICATION TO WATFORD MAGNETOS FOR TIMING TESTS, WITH SPECIAL CAMS. You will remember that some time ago we rearranged the standard Watford EO6 magneto with modified sleeve and special cams for timing tests. It now transpires that we wish to carry out these tests on the RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}1 magneto, instead of the EO6, but we find that the sleeves are not quite interchangeable, and either we have to make a further modification to the EO6 sleeve which is already modified to be able to use this in the RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}1, or to make a modification to an RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}1 sleeve, and we should be pleased if you would look into this to see what is really necessary. If we use the EO6 sleeve on the RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}1, we want to be sure that we are reproducing the same conditions as we should be with the RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}1 sleeve.
