From 'R' to 'EFC' expressing frustration about a lack of comparative information on battery ignition systems.

| ORIGINAL. TO EFC. FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} C to BL. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RY. [Strikethrough] BATTERY IGNITION. X4652 I am afraid the information contained in your EFC2/T5.7.27. is not what I expected to receive. I am anxiously awaiting comparative reports between RR., Delco, and Bosch, who I believe make no attempt at reversing the current, and yet, using inexpensive tungsten points, get greater life and reliability than we do. Is this so, and if so why? I understand from HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} there is no difficulty in regard to experimental pieces, as the Exp. Dept. have given you all you require. If you cannot get anything reasonably quickly, advise me. I fear we must ask someone else to help us in this matter: it makes me feel hopeless. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
