| EFC. FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DY.{F R Danby} ORIGINAL El/M2.6.30. X.7655. P. 2. STARTER MAIN SWITCH. Referring to your memo. EFC8/AD29530., we have in hand a scheme for correcting the trouble due to the carbon contact lagging behind the copper. We aim at springing the fixed contact and making the moving contact rigid, so that the factor of inertia will be entirely discounted. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
