| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EFC. c. to Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} X8793 EFC1/LG3.11.26. LUCAS AND WATFORD MAGNETOS. X7791 With reference to R6/M2.11.26. and particularly to the second and fifth paragraphs, though we had urged Messrs. Norths to produce a sleeveless magneto suited to our 40/50 HP. requirements and had given them the results of our timing investigations, we were not aware that they had actually produced such a magneto. As a result of this welcome information, we are, and assume from R's memo. that he also is, anxious that we should now proceed to obtain for examination and test, one or more of these magnetos. This being agreed to, we shall be pleased if Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} will approach Messrs. Norths with that end in view. EFC. | ||
