| X7791 Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Dm.{D. Munro} from EFC. c. G/Mt. EFC2/AD26.8.29. X.7791. WATFORD EW6 MAGNETOS FOR S.S. PRODUCTION. X.7792. We are handing to the Stores, four Watford EW6 magnetos numbered 114787, 114788, 114790, and 115305 respectively. No.114788 is in 100% condition and can be handed over to the production stores for immediate use on production. The other three should be returned to Messrs. North for examination before ultimately handing over to production, No.114790 particularly has a bad armature knock and requires re-magnetizing. Will you kindly see that experimental order number 54733 is credited with these four magnetos which have been replaced on experimental cars with the new EW6A experimental magnetos. EFC. | ||
