| X. 3398. S/W. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} PN{Mr Northey}23/DN13.4.21. X. 295. X. 3398. In reply to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG11.4.21 - the Smith dynamo which is fitted to our Trials car is functioning very well; it cuts in quite nicely. You will appreciate that this Open Touring car on which the dynamo is fitted, is a great deal in the country, so that the conditions of service are not anything like as onerous as those in connection with the Landaulet. The Peto Radford battery on the Open Touring car in connection with this machine, is being charged sufficiently. PN.{Mr Northey} | ||
