It is proposed to test out a dynamo having its commutator made of annealed copper and having 57 segments, so we therefore send you herewith the following blueprints :- D.51288 - Commutator Bar. D.51289 - " Assembly. D.51289 - " L.O.P. It is possible that you may have some special section copper in stock, as this size was ordered for D.51071 being the comm. bar for a 57 segment comm. in hard drawn copper. If you will send the material to this office, Mr. Marriott will get it annealed in the Laboratory as before. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. | ||
