| Y7741a c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY5/G.26.10.28. ACCESSORY DISTRIBUTION BOARD. -------------------------- Referring to LeC.2598, we note that you have made no provision for an earthing connection. As most of the gadgets affected will be in the coachwork a double wire system will of course be required. What had you in mind in connecting the return wire to earth for each of the gadgets. In any case any earth that is made should be an obvious one, so that it would be undone at the time the distribution board box connections were disconnected. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
