| X3465 Extract from Rl1/M20.9.23. ELECTRICAL WORK. X. 4338. I am looking anxiously for some progress in the electrical work as follows :- IGNITION BATTERY & MAGNETO. I understand you are now satisfied that you have these quite satisfactory in reliability and efficiency. The spare magneto will soon be in production in the latest type. The improved condenser should be thoroughly reliable in the contacts. I am aware you are awaiting a design from WW. for change over ignition and switch for both 40/50 and 20 H.P., because nothing good enough and suitable can be found anywhere. | ||
