PEREGRINE STARTER MOTOR.
We confirm our conversation with you this morning, when it was agreed that you would instruct the following modifications to the above motor in order to reduce the resistance of the armature field windings.
(a) Rewind the armature with 16 S.W.G. wire instead of 17 S.W.G.
(b) Re wind the main field with strip of a greater width i.e. .200" inplace of .175".
