Bailey - Chief Engineer} COPY RL/M3.2.28. RECD. & DESPATCHED FROM WW.7.2.28. RE AERO MAGNETOS. X3835 X.4675. Referring to your memo. of 20.12.27 it appears your type one is the most hopeful - i.e. true inductor type, as represented by Watford, and R.Bosch of Germany. Let us do all we can to get these suitable for our engines, especially because of the light rotors. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
