| X4181c To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EFC. EFC2/T23.5.24. WATFORD MAGNETO EX CHASSIS 50-FW. X.4181c. Herewith copy of my assistant's report on the test and examination of the above magneto. You will see from this that we do not consider the noise of this within a reasonable limit at high speeds. Further you will see that:- (1) The equality of the primary gaps requires attention. (2) Removal of a tendency to stickiness in the cam ring is desirable. (3) A new aluminium distributor gear wheel is necessary. This does not prevent the machine functioning but you will no doubt agree to our conclusion. We return the magneto herewith. EFC. WA.{Mr Wallis}32 attached. Magneto herewith. | ||
