X5783m EFC. Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/NRC{N. R. Chandler}21/D6.5.27. Re R.O.1 Magnetos. In reply to your EFC1/T6.5.27, we would say that with the exception of the trouble with weak Magnets which cropped up more than a year ago, we have practically no experience of trouble with R.O.1 Magnetos, in fact taken all round they appear to be very satisfactory. They are not usually good for slow running, but of course, they are only regarded as the means of providing a stand-by ignition, and probably on many cars have never been used. Hm{Capt. W.
