Cox - Advertising Manager}7/LR{Mr Ellor}11.2.26. We are experimenting with the Lucas Magneto and are fairly satisfied with the results we have so far obtained. Messrs. Lucas are not yet satisfied with the magnetos they have let us have, and we are now waiting for magnetos of improved design from them. When they are satisfied with the machine, we still have to carry out our tests. It will be at least 3 or 4 months before any decision can be made. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
