WATFORD IS.12 AERO MAGNETOS.
Nos. 83132/3.

In accordance with Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Dn7/BH10.4.29, we have duly received these two magnetos. We find on inspection that these magnetos have not been altered to 300° range but are still of the old 15° range. We do not know whether Mr. Wilkins is aware of this fact, but it would seem to render these machines useless for the majority of test purposes.
