40-50 H.P.Starter Motor Test.

The Works are still in trouble inasmuch as they cannot get the Starter Motor to fully engage on the 9 volt test.

We are,in a way,back to where we used to be, because we have so much tooth friction. It either means prolonged light test to obviate bearing friction, or increasing the voltage to,say 9¾.

What do you think ?

9 volts should stay
