DYNAMO X.7860

The control brush had been moved before my arrival here and the peak output raised to approximately 11.0 amperes. The spare machine has not therefore been fitted and the battery charge under the conditions of running appears to be maintained. The car is run after dark nightly for 6 or more hours with the Lucas 60 w. headlamps on, there being a discharge of 2 or 3 amperes from the battery at the speed maintained most of the time.
