PHANTOM II 48 COIL DYNAMOS
OF
MEDIUM AND HIGH OUTPUT.

Further to our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 3/AD9.1.31, the remarks concerning temperature rise settings of dynamos in our concurrent note EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 4/AD26.1.31 will have been noted. In regard to sheets of curves 4C/50 1. and 4C/50 2. sent to you under cover of our EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 3/AD9.1.31 the temperature settings should now be added to the prints in such a way that in the case of 1. the following lines appear upon it :-

I. 56 coil Phantom II dynamo 9° 122° (62C° setting)
II. 48 coil Medium output dynamo 16° 132° (58C° setting)
III. " " High output dynamo 19.5° 129° (62C° setting)

In the case of 2. the following should be added below the title, the figures in the first bracket referring to the brush angles :-

(16° 128°) (65C° setting)

It was an oversight that the value of quoting the temperature rise settings on the curves had not at the time been appreciated.
