| W. D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} FOSTER & CO. Continuation Sheet No. 2. Messrs. Rolls Royce, Ltd. experienced this failure. With the ordinary type of Magneto on an Aeroplane, if any Insulator Part burns out, the engine has to stop but with this type of instrument it is almost impossible for it to fail unless the Bearings seize up, or some mechanical failure occurs. However, we feel that there are great possibilities for this machine, and if you are interested we would be very pleased to send one along to you for your examination. Assuring you of our most earnest co-operation and best endeavours at all times, We are, Yours truly, W.D.Foster W.D.FOSTER & COMPANY. | ||
