| c. to WSt. V60099 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/EW.27.1.36. Stromberg Carburetter and Ventilated Dynamo. Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} points out that if any adjustment has to be made to the Stromberg carburetter, petrol will inevitably fall on the brush gear of the ventilated dynamo. We fitted a simple shield on Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s and Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}'s cars: I do not think this can interfere with the efficiency of the ventilation of the dynamo, but lest, might check up. if o.k. it might be considered for production.
