Dynamo Mr. Stewart Burt in his report on chassis 1945 Loeffler says that car is fitted with C.A.V. dynamo, Bleriot head lamps with 50 c.p. bulbs. The driver has only burnt out two lamp holders in two months and has not had other troubles at all. The light is said to be tremendous, far greater than that thrown from Sir John Smiley's largest Rushmores and D.A. set, while the non-dazzle venetian blind type lens is said to fulfil its purpose excellently. Mr. Johnson wishes us to try this combination and report to him. We have since ascertained that the lamp No. is 401E and the bulbs 20 v.{VIENNA} 50 c.p., which Bleriot have made to their special design. The dynamo on chassis 2301 is fitted with 5/8" belt. | ||
