AERO ENGINE MAGNETOS. RE TWO WATFORD 12 CYLINDER MACHINES REFERRED TO IN OUR MEMO BY17/G.15.5.28. ------------------------------------------------------------ Will you kindly note that as these two magnetos are required for the Experimental Department, and purely for experimental purposes, we may dispense with the A.I.D. examination. This is not a concession to the Watford Co. as the position is that unless we accept without A.I.D. inspection it will not be possible to deliver magnetos as the 30° advance they ask for is not a standard requirement.
