| ORIGINAL. To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. C. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} EFC8/AD8.1.31. X.6091. SEQUENCE STARTER FOR 20/25 CHASSIS. From time to time suggestions have been made of the use of a simplified sequence starter for the 20 HP. In this connection we attach copy of your note R7/M2.11.26. The Bijur engagement, though an improvement on the original Bendix type, has never been entirely satisfactory and has been slightly less so since the advent of the higher compression engine. We suggest, for your consideration, the application for the 20/25 of the scheme suggested in your R1/M21.1.29, which need not necessarily be a sequence starter but electrically direct, a copy of your R1/M21.1.29 is attached for your convenience of reference.
