SEAGULL(Experimental EAC.1 aka Export chassis, Phantom I engine) DYNAMO.
With reference to the Seagull(Experimental EAC.1 aka Export chassis, Phantom I engine) dynamo we will send further particulars, and draw-ings, for this.
As soon as ever possible Mr. Stent will set out the complete machine. In the meantime we shall be glad to know if there is any trouble in reducing the carcase size from 5¾ to 5½ externally; it is easier to get this diameter in, and as we find this is standard diameter on the new Bosch we think it will be alright, espec-ially considering the experience we have had with the Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) dynamo.
R. {Sir Henry Royce}
