| X8795 To Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T13.3.25. X.4187 SCINTILLA MAGNETOS. Answering your Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 4/NJ12.3.25. we have no real objection for substituting magneto No.28531 for No.34937. The reason we sent No.28531 to you in place of this other, is that we have not quite completed the tests on the performance of this magneto subsequently to its having completed 10,000 miles running. We think it is worth while doing this before returning the magneto. Perhaps, therefore, you could hold the matter in abeyance for a day or two, after which we shall be pleased to send you this magneto No.34937 for return to Messrs. Scintilla. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
