Re: ONE PALE BLUE CAR. MAGNETO 24/4/1913 RY 25713 CHAUFFEUR FARSL

Trial run - went out
about 20 mins. car got up close
when [illegible] with [illegible] been
down accelerating & on the bars
misfiring, & went on to the next.
Concluded it was due to the oil
which was re-arranging
the points in front - & had
Top plugs cleaned & it then became
at once dirty with the
close intersection - but per-
fectly symmetricality is superior.
Arranged check for by the alternative
method of timing onwards.
