| -2- Contd. which is low down, and a smaller current to a battery when it gets charged, the difference in the voltage during charging being only a small amount. Unless therefore the vibrator regulator is sensitive and capable of exact adjustment, we consider as we have found, that it is hardly a desirable fitting. As regards the cars to be sent from England, we should like you to say in what state these should be sent, agreeing that no magneto and dynamo is fitted. We suggest that they are sent with our own switch board, distributor board, and wiring and that you should provide cutout in conjunction with the dynamo. Many Exide cells have become internally leaky and lose their charge. This has occurred on both our own and the American cars. | ||
