EAC. STARTER MOTOR.

With reference to the starter motor which is running in the wrong direction, this is due to our winding diagram shewing a progressive instead of retrogressive armature winding; to correct this if you will please arrange to reverse the insulated and earth brush holders this will put the motor right.
