Please receive herewith,

For Messrs.Rolls-Royce.

2- LR{Mr Ellor}7 Regulators mounted on RF50 Boxes, ENS 1202.

These have been set to fulfil the requirements of Messrs. Rolls-Royce in their specification for the B2CJ1 Regulator, viz.

Output, cold, through complete series winding.
(1) at 13 volts, 14-16.5 amps.
(2) at 15 " 1- 7.5 "

Output, hot, through complete series winding.
(1) at 13 volts, 15-18.5 amps.
(2) at 15 " 3.5-10.5 amps.

The actual settings of the two regulators are as follows:-

Open circuit voltage, cold, at 1300 R.P.M., on the Rolls-Royce 4-pole dynamo, 15.8 volts.

Output at 14/volts, through complete series winding,
15.5 amps. cold.
18.5 " hot.

Output, at 15 volts, through complete series winding,
4 amps, cold.

It should be noted that when setting the open circuit voltage of the regulator, 1300 R.P.M on the Rolls-Royce dynamo corresponds to 1450 on our own C45PV 12 volt dynamo, which is our standard condition of setting.
