X5790 Contd. Extract from:- RH.{R. Hollingworth}/M1.2.3.27. X.4652. I agree about 20 HP. magneto. See what can be done to improve the ease of starting, and avoid spoiling our battery jump spark distributor. I will write Mr. North on the subject of electrical technical knowledge, quite diplomatically. I quite agree we do not get enough experimental magnetos and clocks from them to test.
