| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from EFC. X4079 EFC5/T13.3.23. X.4079 - TALLER GOSHAWK IGNITION COIL. X4575 I do not think the car 5-G.II which you have at W.W. is fitted at the moment with one of the new 1/2" taller type ignition coils. As we have a number of these coils in readiness and desire them to do as much running as possible in the engine position, we should be glad if you would confirm this and then we can send you down a taller coil to replace the present one. If all the tall coils behave satisfactorily in the engine position, as we anticipate, that would be a good test to enable us to standardise these in the wheelcase position where the temperature cannot possibly be so high. We are therefore supplying every possible Goshawk chassis with one of these coils. EFC. | ||
