To CJ. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -3- R4/G20/10/19 Contd. Trembler ignition is not now being fitted to any first rate cars or engines; it was never good for the higher speeds. This is the only feature of doubt in our present chassis that I know of. P.H. is using 1 EX. this week, and should report if he finds anything defective. I was very pleased with it generally, quite a definite improvement, though we must give and take a little, we cannot do all giving. Yours ever, R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
