X.4187 - SCINTILLA MAGNETO TYPE AM-6-A, No.28531. (Negative rotation).

Will you please arrange to have the above magneto fitted to chassis 93-NK.

The low speed sparking we found to be not quite as good as the Watford EO6 but otherwise the machine is O.K.

We will arrange to send you later a photostat showing the amount of automatic advance at various engine speeds.

Total range 51°
Hand " 19°
Automatic " 32°

Magneto herewith.

E7C / HEW.
