Date: 29-4-1929 Order No. WD{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}59 Customer's No. X 7791 Watford EW6 magneto. NO 114788. R.H. This magneto has been removed from an S.S. engine on the test bed owing to a bad knock developing. We heard the magneto on test, and concluded that the armature was fouling the pole shoes. This was confirmed by removing the armature, when it was seen by marks on the armature and pole shoes, that fouling had been taking place. We would like this magneto to be returned to messrs North's. Signed HEd. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
