| To Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} from EFC. X8793 EFC3/T31.1.27. LUCAS MAGNETOS. Herewith we hand to you two of the Lucas magnetos submitted a little while ago as an alternative to our present standard Watford, these machines with 60º range being suitable for our Phantom chassis. It occurred to us, as we are not doing anything with them at the present, you might be interested to try them from the silence and slow running point of view. There is no hurry and if you prefer not to do anything with them, just send them back. EFC. | ||
