Letter to W. A. Robotham regarding an issue with the dynamo not engaging on a cold start.


Identifier  ExFiles\Box 89\4\  scan0227
Date  11th January 1938
  
The strange feature is that whenever I start out with a cold motor the dynamo does not cut in (the red light showing on the dash) for the first two or three miles. The dynamo never gives its full output. I had a similar experience over a period with the 3½ Litre.

With apologies for bothering you,

Sincerely yours,

C.W. Nichols.

W. A. {Mr Adams} Robotham, Esq.
