STANDARDISATION - 48 COIL ARMATURE DYNAMO OF MEDIUM OUTPUT - i.e. WITHOUT POLE PIECE MODIFICATION IN CONJUNCTION WITH TWO RATE OUTPUT SWITCHING SCHEME.)

I have passed the above standardisation sheet and send it herewith, but I think that we are making very poor progress on this work. We seem to be doing much spending of money and getting no results towards maintaining output at the higher speeds.
