| C. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}5/G.5.2.38. 6142. Owing to a few complaints of noisy dynamos, produced by unlubricated C.E. bearings, we have produced a scheme, which (1). Better retains the oil. (2). Provides an external lubricator to enable routine lubrication to be carried out without removing the cover. (3). Bearing economy in mind, a cheaper end cover has been evolved.
