| -2- Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}6/MJ.4.5.31. There is one point that may interest you. That is, it has been agreed that in future cars we shall leave off the magneto and use only battery ignition. We shall be glad at any time to hear any comments you have about our cars, and also what new features are being developed in U.S.A. With very kind regards to Mrs. Burton and kiddies. Yours sincerely, | ||
