| To Mr. Wilkins A.I.D. from EFC. c.to RC.{R. Childs} X 4021 EFC2/M16.5.29 WATFORD AERO MAGNETOS I S 12. Of the original 8 Watford aero magnetos Nos. 83119/20, 83132/3/4/5/6/7 you may recall that 4 of these numbers 83119/20, 83132/3 were returned to Farnborough for modification. Two of these 4 Nos. 83132/3 were recently returned to us here but have been again sent back to the makers for modification from 15° to 30° range. When we receive these back again we shall then await your instructions as to the purpose to which these are to be put. Our present query is as regard to the 4 magnetos Nos. 83134/5/6/7 which are still of 15° range and are still with us. We should like to have an instruction from you as to what should be done with these 4 magnetos which are, of course, government property. EFC. | ||
