| To HFG. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X4081 E1/M21.7.22. C. to SJ. C. to W. C. to Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} C. to HB.{C. E. Harcombe}✓ C. to Sp.{Mr Spinney} X4081 - GOSHAWK SWITCH BOX - MAGNETO IGNITION. In reply to your memo. HFG2/T14.7.22., Mr. Royce proposes that we shall carry out a slight modification to the switch box when magneto ignition is fitted to enable the switch in the off position to earth the magneto. It is possible owing to this position at present not being used that we might manage to find room for the necessary contacts. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} STAMPED: F O JUL 24 1922 RECEIVED. | ||
