RE MAGNETOS.

STAMP 1: A.{Mr Adams} DEC 1918
STAMP 2: S.D. 6 DEC 1918 RECEIVED

We are returning to you under separate cover the Bosch Douglas Magneto which was received down here sometime ago with the intention of fitting it to the lighting engine at West WitteringHenry Royce's home town. As the spark of this magneto was found to be very weak, it was decided not to use it, and a Bosch ZF4 was fitted instead.

This latter machine at present belongs to the firm.

Would you kindly have it charged up to Mr. Royce, and the Douglas Bosch deleted from his account.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
