Re: Morganite Brushes on Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) Dynamo. We have run a set of H.M6 morganite brushes on a goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) dynamo. for 80 hours. The dynamo was run at max output during the majority of this period but a speed of 6,500 was reached & maintained for a total time of about 10 minutes. No undue amount of wear has taken place on the brushes during this run. Say .040" as a maximum. Signed: [Signature] This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
