X4383 To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /GWH. {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 5/T 30.10.23. X.4383 RE DYNAMO 'F' ON 49-GB. This dynamo should be removed from 49-GB at the first opportunity and handed to us to be brought up to date as regards bevelling of the brushes and easing the brushes in their holders, more than would have been previously considered right. Also to have the commutator undercut by the new process. Then it will be more satisfactory on the 49-GB system and much less likelihood of the experimental field fuse fusing. EFC. {E.
