EFC. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X.6005 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/MJ.27.2.30. Herewith chart of dynamo output of 14-G4 now running in France. Hancock remarks - "The chart of the dynamo output shews that it is necessary to have some means of cutting down the charge during daylight running". Do you agree that this charging rate is likely to be harmful provided the battery is not over-charged? We do not believe there is anything to worry about.
