BENTLEY IGNITION. Will you please make the following parts for us in conjunction with our experiments on double contact breaker ignition. One set of springs to suit this type of governor, as follows:- No.1 3 coils 16 S.W.G. (.064 wire) 2 off } No.2 3 coils 15 S.W.G. (.072 wire) 2 off } Also the latest cam to D.B.358. A set of these parts is needed for test bed use, with a view to getting a completed governor running on the road. The automatic advance should be 19º (flywheel). which constitutes 9½ on the governor.
