| X8788 PN{Mr Northey}20/DN28.5.26. x.8783 c. x8780 TO EFC FROM PN{Mr Northey} I am sending you a letter I have received from Mr. Sidney, one of our valued owners of Phantoms, who has had considerable trouble in connection with the make-and-break on his battery ignition. I am also sending you copy of my reply. What I would like to know is, whether you think that the larger amount of current flowing in the primary circuit, arising from the fact that the battery voltage becomes as high as 15, is likely to contribute materially to the trouble which Mr. Sidney has experienced.
