| X.3485 8.3.21. COPY OF LABEL ATTACHED BY MR. HIVES TO U.S.A. BOSCH IGNITION EQUIPMENT TAKEN TO MR. ROYCE FOR INSPECTION. X.4275 - BOSCH IGNITION X.3485. The chief point of interest is the fact that this complete set is produced and sold at a profit for 14 dollars. The cost of the R-R Coil alone without ballast is £4.10.0. We do think there is a lot to be learnt from U.S.A. production of electrical equipment. We suggest that we fit this set to Goshawk I to see how it behaves. We have the formula from the Bosch Company for the adjustment of the Governor to suit any individual engine. | ||
