E.W.6. MAGNETOS.
---------------

Will you kindly note that after examining all the experimental work which has been so far carried out on the latest type of EW.6 magneto with one piece cams, both myself and EFC. are satisfied that the one piece cam is an improvement, and that in consequence we would like to have this improvement included in deliveries at the earliest possible moment.

Will BY/CS. see that the improved form of connection is introduced as soon as possible, as the position of the operating lever controlling the advance and retard must necessarily be in the new position owing to the one piece cam construction, and therefore I would like to have the new form of ball joint as soon as possible.
