To EFC. from R.{Sir Henry Royce} -2- Rl/G12219 Contd.

timer gap .020" = .5 m/m wearing away to .025" = .6 m/m;

Then let us do all to prove this right, and make a
sound job of constructing 2000 sets, 1500 for current cars and
500 converts for repair cars coming in to have electric starters
fitted.

Transfer your experimenting to starter or lighting
sets or to the new ignition for the 20 H.P. I will send you
some calculations to make.
