WATFORD MAGNETOS. ----------------- The Experimental Department find that the Cast Aluminium Dust Cover over the armature reduces noise and seems preferable to the sheet metal cover. The Watford Co. have already supplied the Experimental Dept. with a Cast Aluminium Cover, therefore in order to try out another Magneto, will you please order from the Watford Co. another Cast Aluminium Dust Cover with safety gap piece, also modified High Tension Collector Brush to suit.
