| X4383 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} c. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /TMW EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T22.10.23. X24383 - GOSHAWK DYNAMO. Will you kindly remove dynamo G from chassis 5GII and have the commutator of this machine specially undercut by your new method, after which the machine should be returned to us for bevelling the brushes. If it is necessary for this car to have a dynamo on in the meanwhile, we would like you to fit No.625 with cast iron end bracket, which is ready in our lab., but we do not want the car to go to the coachbuilders with this particular dynamo on it. It is simply a case of putting this machine on a chassis for a short trial of the noise effect. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
