Test of Coil T.G. 3.
This coil returned from the test house as faulty, was received by us, minus the lead terminal screws on the primary and with a crack in the side of the case near the top. The latter looks as though it might have been done through distortion due to expansion.
It is, however, still a good coil; a few tests having been made upon it with satisfactory results.
1 Continuity of windings. O.K.
2 Milliamperes taken by secondary, = 10.8 at 197 volts
5 Sparking very good. i.e. Regular sparking on 7.0mm gaps at 8.5 volts taking .92 ampere.
6 Coil and ballast only. Current through coil = 1.9 amperes at 1.32 volts.
Signed: C.A.P.
This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work.
