WORCESTER HOUSE, WALBROOK, LONDON, E.C.4 9th December 1922. Dear Sirs, We have pleasure in enclosing our Catalogue and would greatly esteem your enquiries. Our Magnetos have assisted in winning a large number of open events, the most recent being:- Grand Prix de l'Aero Club. 200 Mile Race at Brooklands for Light Cars. Grand Prix de Mans for Motor Cycles. Paris-Pyrenees - Paris for Light Cars. We claim that we are able to give easier starting, more uniform running, more power and lower consumption with our Magnetos. Pinking or knocking is most often caused by low heat value of the ignition, and should you have a Car subject to this, we should welcome the opportunity of demonstrating that this can be immediately cured by the adoption of one of our Magnetos. Yours faithfully, The SALMSON MAGNETO COMPANY. | ||
