For the attention of Mr.Fowler-Clarke. Dear Sirs, With reference to the interview which you were good enough to grant our representative on Friday last, concerning the type AG-A magneto which you are testing, we are sending you, under separate cover, one new spring of a weaker type for the contact breaker looking ring. We should be glad if you would give the necessary instructions to ensure that when this is being fitted it tends to bring the contact breaker to the fully advanced position, which is the normal arrangement for our automatic magnetos. Yours faithfully, SCINTILLA LIMITED. (Contract Department) [Signature] Encl: 1 Spring (U.S.C.) FWS.
