| R.R. 235 s(200 T) (S.F. 103, 25-10-18) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2241 87C c. Mr Shelton. X. 3328 January 22. 1919. BY11/P22119. EAGLE ENGINES. ELECTRICAL STARTERS. Kindly note that Messrs.Lucas are awaiting the Armature Spindle for the above job, in order to produce us a sample starter motor. The understanding was that we should supply the spindle and Messrs.Lucas would build up the armature and supply us with the armature carcase with fields complete, while, on our part, we supply the reduction gear and end cover to suit the motor. It is very important that we should have the armature spindle dispatched to Messrs.Lucas to enable them to build up the sample motor in the near future. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
