In connection with the Governor which provides the automatic advance on Goshawk 11. Battery Ignition, it will be necessary, when these are on production, to have a rig on which each Governor can be tested at various speeds to see what angle of movement is obtained. It will also be necessary to run each Governor and make sure that it gives the correct movement before it is put on to the chassis. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
