-4- Contd. instead of 11. If we did that I am afraid we should have a big outcry against poor output. It is in the nature of things very difficult to get experimental experience of what we look upon as the one extreme conditions namely, Town running with frequent starts and stops and standing with lights on, such as might occur during the next three months, not so much in your own case, because you do a good deal of other running, but in some of the cases which no doubt exist. Would you like us to provide you with a dynamo in which we have put the control brush back so that the peak output when fully warmed up is the 8 amperes you suggest, looking upon this from our point of view as an exaggerated case arranged for experiment ? We have such a machine which is already slotted out for control brush movement and which we could send to you for the purpose, you at the same time to return to us your present machine which you say has an abnormally large output, so as to [Faint watermark text in center of page: DICKINSON & CO LION BRAND 180 MADE AT CROXLEY] Contd. | ||
