We have received from you a noisy dynamo No.625 in accordance with our telephone suggestion and this has now been fitted by RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} with a cast iron end plate, in order to see if this modification is a cure for such noisiness. In place of this machine we have sent to you dynamo No.604 which was a production machine recently received by the Expl. Dept. for the complete new unit of our 4GII chassis, and which has been O.K. as regards noise. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
