EAC.10. STARTER MOTOR.

Please find attached blueprint of LeC. 2417. which should clear up the remaining doubtful points on the above.

I am sorry that this matter has been delayed, but was just dealing with it when I went off ill.

Some re-arrangement of the proportions has been rendered necessary to accommodate the armature and field windings.

At the same time we have included a modification which allows us to use the standard Bijur Drip plug.

The motor end cover has been cleaned up to render it a simple die casting.

E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
