Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/T8.11.26. Re Watford Magnetos. IS.12. We are handing you herewith two distributor mouldings which have broken down on test, on the Watford magnetos, and one contact breaker on which the make and break has come loose. We have a third distributor moulding on test which has broken down, but we are running with this till we obtain something to replace it. The fixing of the distributor wiring on these magnetos continues to give trouble. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
