RE DYNAMOS AND MOTORS.

Will you kindly criticise the curves of the
dynamos and motors sent by Mr. Olley with Oy1/M27.4.20, and
let me have your comments.

I do not think it will do to be without the
reduction on the motor until we have tested it ourselves. My
feeling is that we shall make the motor smaller and let it
run at a higher speed, in which case we should have preferr-
ed{J. L. Edwards} to have retained the reduction gear on the motor.
