| To EV. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from AJS. c, to BJ. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} x76535 AJS1/M6.12.26. PHANTOM STARTER MOTOR. X.7625/7655. We send you herewith drawing LeC.2330, shewing Phantom direct drive 13 to 1 ratio starter motor, the principle of which has been described in a previous memo. You will note that this drawing has been made for a starter motor behind the flywheel, but since arranging it in that position we have discovered certain advantages in placing it in a similar position to the present Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) starter motor, and are sending you a drawing to follow this one which will indicate it in that position. It will also have a different cover at the driving end, and be attached to the flywheel casing by set screws, similar to Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)), in place of the long bolts shewn on this drawing. We expect to send you a separate drawing also of the terminals. Would you kindly let us have a print per return of LeC.2330., as there are one or two little additions to be made, such asproviding lubrication for the rear bearing, etc. AJS. | ||
