| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} c. RC{R. Childs}/CAP. 6142 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}29.1.38. DYNAMO ON CAR B.23.AE. When the recent exchange of engines between cars B.23.AE. and B.50.BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} took place the dynamos on the engines should have first been changed, so that each car was left with its original machine. This is necessary as each car has a different system, and a dynamo that has been specially adapted to it. As this was not done, it remains for the dynamo which is at present on the engine (B.15 unit) taken out of B.50.BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} to be removed and fitted on car B.23.AE. In a similar manner the dynamo, which is at present on B.23.AE, should be removed and handed over for the engine that is going into B.50.BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} Will you please arrange for this to be done. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs} | ||
