| Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/ML.13.5.40. I have never been very enthusiastic about the Scintilla magneto and feel sure that if we wish to limit the speed of the engine by means of the ignition equipment we can do this quite satisfactorily by means of modifications to our own distributor.
