We are in receipt of a letter from North & Sons Ltd., makers of the Watford magneto, pointing out that they do not warrant their products beyond twelve months from date of delivery from their Works. To the best of my recollection this point has never been raised before and I have frequently asked for free replacement of parts of magnetos which have been in service considerably longer than 12 months and do not recollect having met with a refusal. However, as the matter has been brought to our attention by Norths, it is advisable that same be taken note of. Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} [Stamp: RECEIVED N B APR 28 1926] | ||
