To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. c. BJ. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X2894 EFCL/T5.11.27. TUNGSTEN IGNITION CONTACT POINTS. The two arrangements called for by LeC.2460 and 2461, will complete their 10,000 mile bench test during this week-end. As far as we can see from inspection without disturbing these, they are both doing quite well. We will send you a more complete report on Monday. We are instructing one of each of these two arrangements for running on experimental cars, subject to confirmation after our inspection of the points on Monday. EFC. | ||
