Letter regarding a dynamo fault caused by an incorrect fuse being fitted and the subsequent high cost of repair.

VA.5/ET.II.I.39 - 2 -

For your information, we have sent the owner another dynamo and a new D.53745 triangular resistance.

Gallas has examined the dynamo and considers the trouble to be due to a 30 amp. fuse being fitted to the dynamo field, instead of the standard 4 1/2 amp. type. Of course we do not know if the driver's statement is correct, and it is for this reason that we should like to have a few details from you, because the cost of repairing the dynamo is going to be a bit high.

Trusting that you are keeping quite fit and with kind regards to yourself and Mrs. Waller,

I remain,

Yours sincerely,

V. {VIENNA} Allen
