| W/P - Sr. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 44013 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/KW.19.1.35. Replying to Sr.1/Crn.16.1.35. We have an altered voltage control regulator which is a definite advantage in keeping the battery nearer its fully charged state. I am arranging for some of these regulators to be sent over to you. With regard to the pivot pin bushes which have seized up, there has been a reduction in the oil supply allowed to this pivot pin. It does appear that for Continental conditions at any rate a greater oil supply is required. I am going into the matter and will let you know something in due course.
