| X. 2375 EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} BY26/H. 9. 5. 24. The second E.6. Magneto fitted to Mr. Liechti's car No. 76-EE. is now in my office: I would like you to try this out as you did the magneto taken from 115-EE. If you will send somebody across he can have both magnetos which will enable you to take off your good make and break from the magneto taken from 115-EE and you can then try it similar to the last scheme on the magneto now returned from 76-EE. to check whether this would show excessive wear on what would correspond to 3000 miles running on the road. Will you kindly send somebody along to my office to collect the magnetos. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ry | ||
