As it would be unsafe under the worse temperature and speed conditions to run this regulator with our existing dynamo we have decided to go on with the B2H1 type regulator until such times as we have improved our dynamo characteristics at high speeds.

We have decided to standardize this regulator on both the Bentley and the 40/50 Rolls-Royce chassis and as the dynamo on each of these chassis are very similar it is proposed to use the same regulator for each.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
