We send you herewith: LeC.3374 showing the dynamo and drive for the above engine.

A Phantom 2 dynamo is fitted and driven at engine speed.

The standby magneto is deleted altogether, and there is a new position for the oil filler at a suitable distance away from the exhaust downtake pipe.

We also send you LeC.3375 showing the machining for the dynamo cradle on a crankcase, which is common to both Bensport and 20/25 HP.

The speed of the dynamo on the 20/25 being as before 1.5 times engine speed.
