| X6016 Extract from G.W.Hancock's report dated 15.8.30 on 24-EX at 10,000 miles. DYNAMO TO SUIT HALF-CHARGE SCHEME. X6006 X6016 We gave the output of the dynamo in our 6,000 mile report. This did not alter until the last thousand miles, when the dynamo started to fail. The output went down to 4 and 6 amps finally giving out no current. We found at the finish of the test the brushes sticking and the commutator burnt and appeared to be considerably worn. The dynamo was taken off and handed over to EFC. for investigation. | ||
