| X.8796 By from Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} e.to Mr c.to EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 12/NJ25.8.25. EO.6 Watford Magneto 60º range. Please note, Mr.Allen of North & Sons Ltd. will be here between 1.30 and 1.45 p.m. on Thursday next, 27th inst. to enquire into our complaints regarding the above-mentioned magneto. I have informed Norths by 'phone today that the noise we complain of is the flopping of the sleeve, due to the fit in the housings not being sufficiently close. Mr.Allen will examine some of the magnetos we have returned to ascertain to what extent they are at fault in this respect and when he comes here he will go into the matter with us and examine magnetos which Test Department have rejected on account of the flopping noise above referred to. I hope that everything will be in readiness when Mr.Allen arrives here. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} [Stamp] RECEIVED 26 AUG 1925 | ||
