GOSHAWK FOR ABROAD. X.4079 X.4075.

All the cars for hot climates should have the
ignition altered to that which is found to be best, either
stabalite coil, improved mouldensite coil, or with new
cooler position of coil.

I have recommended that the magneto and
wiring shall be fitted and in running condition, but the
magneto permanently earthed, and the wiring also.

R.{Sir Henry Royce}
