| X6017 To Sg. {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 3/MJ.3.9.31. COIL IGNITION ON 20/25.HP. CHASSIS. Replying to Sg {Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} 13/E2.9.31. We have not had a reply from R. {Sir Henry Royce} to our report Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /HEW2/AD.13.8.31., neither do we expect one. During our visits to W.W.R. has stated that in connection with J.3 they intend to go over the whole of the electrical equipment and redesign it because most of the present electrical units were designed over ten years ago. We expect the coil will receive attention then. In the meantime we are experimentally building up a coil with the outside primary winding. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
