| X7791 EFC. from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}25/MG7.9.27 MAGNETOS Following our conversation on Monday (5th) Messrs. North & Sons have submitted an offer to supply a modified E.W.6 Magneto with a simpler form of Distributor Block and without provision for lubrication of the Armature Bearings by the user, at a figure representing 10/6d less than that they now quote for the Sleeveless type E.W.6 - two of which you have under observation, i.e. Nos. 99171 and 99802, submitted on the 3rd and 26th ultimo respectively. I do not know where the suggestion for this modified type E.W.6 Magneto originated, but gather from your remarks that we should not entertain same. Kindly confirm. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
