GOSHAWK IGNITION. X3435

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is sending our new arrangement for the coil, distributor, and wiring.

There are on these drawings one or two modifications as alternatives. These modifications should be tried as quickly as ever possible.

We think it will be manifest which arrange-ment is to be preferred directly we put them on a car.

Up to the present the coil cases must still be made in stabilite.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
