During the hot weather the Delco coil gave trouble owing to its high internal temperature, the trouble was missing at low speeds. The R.R. coil when re-tried with the improved carburation under which Delco failed proved to be free from this fault and when tried under cold conditions with the improved carburation was satisfactory for the whole starting range from cold chamber conditions upward. We have therefore replaced Delco by R.R. ignition coil. Handwritten: CHANGE SG{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s COIL 3. Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}'s Report on 27.G.VI.
