X.3966 X.4031 X.10E (3) WESTINGHOUSE GENERATOR, REGULATOR AND STARTER MOTOR: These machines are shipped with the car and may be readily interchanged with the Bijur output. They have been improved from the original experimental sets fitted to the car during Mr. Hives' visit, in the way of cleaning up the internal insulation. The starter motor has been rewound to avoid the excessive current taken for starting a cold engine, noted by Mr.Hives on the original set. | ||
