To E7C. 16 - 4 - 1928 Order No. WC97 Customer's No. X8796 Watford EW6 magneto No 99171. We have just received this magneto back from Messrs North's after repair and reconditioning, and have subjected it to a bench test to our latest specification. We found that this magneto passed our specification completely with one small exception namely the advanced performance on the leaky gap. There should be no difficulty at starting with this magneto as the retarded slow speed performance is exceptionally good. Signed H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} W. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. This magneto was handed to Production, not being required — No cont. cam mgs. | ||
