| 8639 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wat. Ha/Wat.10/MA.10.10.34. ELECTRO MAGNETIC STARTER SWITCH. I have long felt that the design of our starter switch is not efficient electro magnetically and I am sending you herewith a sketch of a design which I think would be more efficient and possibly cheaper to produce. I should be much obliged if you would examine this sketch and if you approve arrange for same to be detailed for test. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wat. | ||
