Production test.

The machine was found to comply with the specification of test, issued for Phantom I H.O. machines as follows :-

Output. 16.6 amperes at 1700 r.p.m.

C.C. volts at 840 r.p.m. = 14.0

(Temperature 16.5 - 40.5 - 57)

It was considered desirable to have a still slightly higher output, which was obtained by retarding the control brush half a degree, making the C angle 127.5°.

Output readings corresponding to this new C angle were

Amperes. Speed (r.p.m)
0 850
(Peak) 15.4 1815
10.8 3400

The machine was then sent into the stores for despatch.
