| R.R. 199 (2goT) (SDg76 19-7-17) MP:B&S -2- Contd. with a gap exceeding .030". The varnish filling of this coil becomes viscous and runs out of the H.T. terminal after the car has run hot for a considerable time. This coil appears to give a stronger spark than Mr. Brocks No.1 although the ammeter shows the same amount of current. (sgd) A.J. Lidsey. | ||
