| Contd. -3- EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T13.E2.20. We have come across Lucas cut-outs which cut in as late as 13.5 in the cold condition and it is possible that some of the cases referred to of late operation are due to this cause and could be improved as suggested by Mr. Olley by altering the adjustment, even if this be found to be soldered, provided this is done by a properly competent person. Care should be taken, as the cut-out is liable to derangement. We do not quite understand the way in which Mr. Olley considered our note EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 5/T25.10.20 to be at variance with Mr. Platford's instructions. If, however, the matter is not cleared up by what we have said we shall be pleased to hear again from Mr. Olley on this point. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
