| Oy8 - G 3821 Sheet #2. They are not able to give us a vertical spindle dual ignition set just yet because it is not through the experimental stage. We are also up against it with the American Bosch on their dual ignition set, because their fool Sales Dept. want us to pay "cost plus" for them to make one up for us by hand. So at present we have a rather bad setback on dual ignition. This may make us decide to try the Delco "magneto replacement" set, just to see what it will do. [Handwritten] Aug 3 later. We are now running clear with the Am Bosch to obtain a dual-ignition head shortly on memorandum invoice oy. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley. | ||
