| -7- Contd. have recently described as being preferable to the standard connection, viz. as being fed through the field fuse from the C terminal of the distribution box, reasons for this having been given in our report EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T8.10.27. There does not not appear to be any particular reason why this should not be fed from the top side of the field fuse as in the case of the voltmeter, except that it is not quite so convenient in wiring. On the contrary, in the case of the danger lamp unit there is a reason for supplying this from the B terminal of the distribution box, viz. that it would also give evidence of something wrong if the dynamo armature fuse were removed or melted, for precisely the same reason that in the case of the cutout shunt coil with this connection that coil might be roasted in those circumstnaces, as explained in our report referred to (EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 2/T8.10.27). N.B. Further portion on auto switch will follow. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
