Trying a new simplified sequence starter on the 20 HP model as the current one is unsatisfactory.

| BY To EFC. }from R.{Sir Henry Royce} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to - BJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X7650 R7/M2.11.26. 20 HP. & 40/50 SEQUENCE STARTER. X.7650. X.5650. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} suggests we try our simplified sequence starter on the 20 HP. because the present RR. Bijur is not entirely satisfactory. This would be ungeared but would require electro-magnetic switch. Will Mr. Stent make a rough sketch of what room and parts are needed ? Also we await Derby's test of the starter on EAC.1 with nearly parallel keys. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
