Stromberg Carburetter and Ventilated Dynamo.

Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} points out that if any adjustment has to be made to the Stromberg carburetter, petrol will inevitably fall on the brush gear of the ventilated dynamo.

We fitted a simple shield on Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s and Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s cars: I do not think this can interfere with the efficiency of the ventilation of the dynamo, but Wst. might check up. If O.K. it might be considered for production.
