MP 197880 To Order No. Customer's No. 3 As the condenser should be of a slightly larger capacity than that which gives the maximum spark, this would seem to indicate that our capacity limits are too low. In connection with the lower limit, it very frequently happens that a misfire at the gap accompanies a splash at the contact points. If the capacity were larger, it is quite possible that the splash would be prevented and the spark would pass at the gap. For the upper limit, it (Cont'd) Signed This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
