| X 2814 ad/17/261117. 6th. November 1917. Mr. H. {Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Johnson, 14, Panton Street, LONDON.S.W.1. Dear Sir, With reference to your letter of the 3rd. inst. will you please note that we really require only the coil and not the distributor, but it would certainly be useful to have an ignition switch. It is our intention that the coil should be of the type you are supplying to us for fitting to Airship Engines, and we were not aware that you made any other type 6 Cylinder Coil. Perhaps you will let us have full particulars of all the types which you could supply, but please do not delay the despatch of the Coil and Ignition Switch on this account. Yours faithfully, A B/H | ||
