RR. Ignition Governor for Deturbulated Engine

Will you please have made for us as soon as possible in connection with the fitting of R.R. distributors to the de-turbulated head Bentley engine, one complete Bentley distributor and governor with the governor altered by fitting a spring to drawing E.61099. A check should be made that the shaft is absolutely free, the friction being reduced to a minimum in order to obtain the minimum early operation of the governor.

This distributor and governor is very urgently required in view that the Delco-Remy has been put back on Production and an R.R. governor will have to be produced very quickly for the de-turbulated head.
