| -2- Another point I am anxious to get some information on is the Delco Generator Controlled Third Brush. We are always more or less in trouble with dynamo output. The thermostat control for the third brush sounds attractive if it is reliable, because all the other elaborate regulators all refer back to the damper of the machine as a base of what can be got out of it. I am pushing forward the question of buying one of your twelve cylinder cars. Do you think it would be any use to us? The car business over here at present is very quiet but fortunately we are getting quite a number of orders for aero engines, and believe me, it is coming just at the right time. I have got Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} to agree that it is quite in order for me to let you have any information of general interest, so that I trust if there is anything we can help you with on this side you will not hesitate to write. With my very kind regards to Mrs. Olley, Yours sincerely, | ||
