We are going into the question of the cut-out, but we feel sure we ought not to delay the test of the Smith dynamo which should work with the Lucas cut-out as the present Lucas dynamo does.

As regards designing the cut-out, we have at West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town) the matter well in hand. I should not worry Mr. Day about it until we are able to give him all the particulars we can, he could then see whether he can improve upon it.
