HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} suggests we try our simplified sequence starter on the 20HP. because the present RR. Bijur is not entirely satisfactory.

This would be ungeared but would require electro-magnetic switch.

Will Mr. Stent make a rough sketch of what room and parts are needed?

Also we await Derby's test of the starter on EAC. 1. with nearly parallel keys.
