| X5783 To Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} from EFC. EFC4/T30.12.26. BURNING OF 20 HP. BATTERY IGNITION DISTRIBUTOR POINTS WHEN RUN ON R.O.1.MAGNETO. Mr. Royce once asked me whether the burning of the battery ignition distributor points was serious when conveying the H.T. current from the Watford R.O.1 magneto. It occurred to me you might at some time have, or have had, a case of a customer's 20 HP. car which has been run on magneto for a considerable time. We should like to examine such a case. EFC. | ||
