| To Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X879/6 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 4/T20.7.25. X.4181d. WATFORD EO6 MAGNETO No.77696. Herewith we send to you a H.T. collector from the above magneto, of which the insulation has failed whilst the magneto was working on an experimental car. This appears to be the third case of trouble with collector brushes recently experienced on experimental cars. Would you please suitably take up this matter with the makers, as it does not appear that this new H.T. pick-up is even now free from fault. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
