NEW TYPE IGNITION COIL.

Following our conversation regarding the above we are sending you herewith a rough sketch shewing suggestions for a new design of coil which should be fundamentally better from a secondary breakdown point of view.

Following your suggestion that By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. should arrange for this to be schemed out we are also sending to him a copy of the sketch.

Our aim with this design of winding is to eliminate top layer secondary winding breakdowns.
