Will you please arrange to fit to chassis 3.B.lV. and 5.B.lV. one Delco Remy coil with special finish, which have been supplied to us by Messrs Delco Remy for test. In wiring these coils in place of the R.R. coil the ballast resistance should be short circuited as it will not be required for this type of coil.
