Extract from CY3/G 5.3.21.

---- American Bosch ZR6 Magnetos have been fitted to 5 or 6 pre-war cars and have given complete satisfaction This represents a total mileage of over one hundred thousand miles at the least. We have fitted one post-war car with American Bosch ZR.-6, which was last seen after running with this machine for about a thousand miles. It was quite satisfactory.

In addition, about ten post-war customers have removed the Watford and fitted American Bosch at their own expense, which represents a mileage of about twenty thousand. All report complete satisfaction.

We therefore feel that the American Bosch ZR-6 has been well tried out on post-war cars.

OY.
