| WST ORIGINAL. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST. FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} R1/M31.8.32. X6052 NEW TYPE OF CIRCULAR CONDENSER FOR R.R. BATTERY IGNITION. Regarding your HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/WST3/KT23832., I am very pleased that you are so hopeful of the improvements that we shall get with the new type of condenser. Be very careful about the life of the contact points. I quite agree that the more constant capacity ought to give us a great advantage in the behaviour of the engine when hot, and slow running.
