With reference to your letter and telegram of yesterday, we regret that it is not possible for us to alter the direction of rotation of this magneto. 26485 We are unable to supply a control spring which would cause the full amount of automatic advance to be obtained at 2500 R.P.M. If you care to supply us with particulars of the range of automatic advance and the direction of rotation when looking on the driving spindle end, we will submit them to our Factory and ascertain whether they can supply a suitable magneto. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, SCINTILLA LIMITED. (Sales Department) PWS.
