Title
Meeting held at Armstrong Siddeley Motors to consider the Mamba electric starter position
Date
6 December 1949
Description

The meeting was held to clarify the Mamba order position and a note issued on the 30 January 1949 by Mr Marlow. We have eight of the original starters of the type EXP.3062 and these are not suitable for trainer engines and Rotax prefer that we do not use them on the Apollo. In other words the starters are not considered good enough for operational flight use
