| X7791 EFC3/T. 8th Sept. 1928. Messrs. North & Sons Ltd., Whippendell Road, Watford. Dear Sirs, With reference to the specially ordered R.H. EW6 Watford magneto No.113864, we note you have provided this with a distributor rotor with the standard L.H. rotation marking. Of course, you are probably aware of this. We suggest that, subject to your agreement, we delete the present marking, and put on a new one, similarly placed, but on the opposite side relative to the carbon brush centre line. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
