GOSHAWK FOR ABROAD. X.4079 X.4075

All the cars for hot climates should have the ignition altered to that which is found to be best, either stabalite coil, improved mouldensite coil, or with new cooler position of coil.
I have recommended that the magneto and wiring shall be fitted and in running condition, but the magneto permanently earthed, and the wiring also.
R. {Sir Henry Royce}
