Childs}13/AP.17.8.37 Earthed Positive Electrical System on B.23.AE. For some time now, we have been experimenting with a modified electrical system, which involves the 'earthing' of the positive side. We have now completed our experiments, and would like to revert to standard with this system. Will you, therefore, please arrange to have the wiring on this car altered back to standard the next time the car comes into the Shop. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
