For instance, it is estimated that in the extreme cases, with an additional 9 lbs. on the machine, making the weight 40 lbs., we could produce the output of the higher output machine with present cutting in with safety from overheating on continuous running on high voltage, and for an addition of half that amount of weight we could probably go half way in the output, but we do not know whether it would be expedient to do this from other points of view. We appear to be, though slowly perhaps, coming up against the real difficulty in that possibly the extreme cases of clients requirements are becoming more extreme than ever before. This leads us back to the conclusion that the green lamp indicator does, after all, make considerable claim to inclusion in the chassis electrical system. EFC. | ||
