| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/AJL. X762513 EFC3/T12.4.28. SEQUENCE STARTER MOTOR 2EM SCHEME. As referred to in conversation we are anxious to get this new motor fitted to chassis 9-EX as instructed as soon as possible. In the meanwhile, however, as there appears to be some delay in the availability of the car for this purpose, we ought to make a brake test on the motor. For this purpose it will be necessary to remove the spring which draws the armature back, thus enabling the armature to begin remain in its outer position. An adaptor will be required to enable our brake wheel to be fitted to the motor. Will you please arrange for the matter to be looked into with a view to providing these necessary temporary arrangements for the brake test. EFC. | ||
