Watford EW6 magnetos.
With reference to the above we have a few points to raise with Messrs North's as follows:-
① We should like an answer to our enquiry as to the reason why they have used a pin location for the H.T. rotor instead of the horse shoe location so much commended by their goodselves?
② Would they be in a position to alter the four magnetos we have returned to them to continuous cam rings as well as slow make cams?
