| URGENT XG006 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/AD31.3.32. 19-EX DYNAMO It has been decided that we shall fit in place of the Bosch dynamo now on the above car, a Rolls-Royce 40/50 dynamo suitably converted into a plain shunt machine and run in conjunction with a C.A.V. regulator. It will therefore be necessary to convert a 40/50 machine into a plain shunt. This will entail re-winding the field winding with finer gauge wire which we will specify and taking out the control brush. Will you please arrange for a machine to be converted as quickly as possible so that we can adjust it suitably in conjunction with a C.A.V. regulator which we have ready for 19-EX.
