SPARE IGNITION COIL FOR BENSPORTCodename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley.

In connection with the proposal to mount a spare ignition coil on the BensportCodename for 3 1/2-litre Bentley it has been suggested that, in order to avoid confusion in the event of changing over the coils, the coil primary terminals be engraved.

A slight advantage is gained in secondary voltage output if the coil primary is connected up as shown :-

and we suggest that the coil terminal plate be engraved accordingly.
