| X2048 To Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from EFC. EFC2/T26.11.26. MAGNETO FOR SINGLE CYL+ ENGINE. Mr. Royce says :- "I want a magneto for a single cyl. engine with impulse starter, suitable for chain drive. I understand that such a magneto would go at half engine speed. The engine runs at about 500 RPM. Please have it be delivered here as quickly as ever possible. I understand the ML. is not suitable for chain drive; perhaps the BTH. is." I should be pleased if you would enquire, in the first instance, of the B.T.H. Co. if they can supply a magneto to meet the above conditions. If so, I suggest one might be sent to us here on approval at their earliest convenience. EFC. | ||
