| - 5 - HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/RH.{R. Hollingworth}1/VS.{J. Vickers}23.6.37. H.T. Wire - "Helsby". This cable is electrically sound, but shows signs of exterior cracking of the dielectric at the sharp bends, which caused the previous breakdown. This cable is now obsolete. Tubes. These are in good condition. Distributor Head. The head is electrically sound and in good condition, the wear on the H.T. segments being very small. The H.T. carbon brush has worn slightly, but can be considered satisfactory. The rotor and blade are in good condition, the wear on the blade being very small. The condenser is electrically sound and in good condition. HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/R.{Sir Henry Royce} Hollingworth. | ||
