patch, and the switchbox will be to D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} Sch.554 to correspond with the improved output 25 HP. dynamo less the fittings for standby magneto ignition which are not required on Peregrine.

Starter Switches.
The simple main relay/switch will be used for the six chassis, as recently produced for Phantom II. chassis without the sequence interlock, and in connection with this a design will be required for a simple push button switch, which is being put in hand forthwith.

Battery.
Since the battery installation must be such that the battery lid{A. J. Lidsey}, or lids, can be moved for topping up, there is no point in using a two piece battery. We, therefore, want to use battery 6.GL.{G. Linnett}11.A, together with the box shown on D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} scheme 555 for the six chassis, and the coachwork must be so arranged as to avoid any interference with the removal of the lid{A. J. Lidsey}, or the lifting out of the battery. This was supposed to be provided for on the first battery by having a fixed heel board sufficiently far back with a detachable heel board wherever required by the seat cushion. BY will take up this point with WW.
