X.4284 - DELCO-REMY BATTERY IGNITION.
We would like to obtain if possible for comparison with our own product, an up-to-date Delco-Remy battery ignition contact breaker, distributor and coil, of typical pattern as at present supplied for some American make of car.
Could you kindly write to our American people with a view to obtaining one of these.
We have seen on the American chassis what is presumably the latest U.S.A. Bosch ignition.
EFC.
