X9730 X8790 x4187 With reference to the above Mr. Royce has decided that we ought to use a governed Scintilla magneto on EAC.2. engine and that with this the design of switchbox known as LeC. 1849. is quite suitable. Would you therefore kindly proceed on these lines. We should like particulars of the dimensions of the magneto in question to see how it goes into our designs. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
