PEREGRINE(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) DYNAMO.

This was discussed here during HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} visit to WW.
on the 20. Jan.

I suggested reducing its speed to engine revs. for a
trial, to see if cutting in was early enough. I think 16 MPH.
if we got a good charge would be OK.

The 1.2 engine revs. suggested by E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} is quite fast
enough.
