In view of the discussion at the Conference today, where it was agreed that no decision should be made in regard to the ignition coils until more running had been done with Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car, using a Delco coil, will you kindly mote that for the present we shall not place orders for Delco coils. In the meantime, as pointed out in my previous note on this subject, we must press on with improved coils to give a sufficient output to cover fully the conditions which occur in Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s car, viz. long periods of idling resulting in missing. /red .BY. By | ||
