With reference to the No.23 Class Airship engine which is now on test, we are very desirous of getting a 12-Cylinder Remy Distributor on this engine. We wish this distributor to be altered by filing out the slots at present in the base so that an additional 10º of range is obtained. For this purpose the Control Quadrant can be removed.
