| To EJJ. √6099. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.2/JH. 2.4.36. Experimental Dynamo Test Rigs. Our dynamo test rigs have recently been modified to make them suitable for the new type of dynamo, having the three point rubber buffer drive. We, however, find it necessary, at times, to run the old type, large shunt dynamo. To enable this to be done, we understand you have designed an adaptor, J13890, which can be fitted on the shaft of the dynamo in place of a pully and which carries three recesses to accommodate the three driving buffers. Will you please have an adaptor of this kind, made for us. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
