| ORIGINAL. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} TO SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WCR. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} RECEIVED 12 MAY 1931 RELAY OPERATED STARTER SWITCH - 20/25. E1/M11.5.31. X6080. Referring to BY20/G1531., R.{Sir Henry Royce} does not altogether approve Sch. 464. as he would like to make some departure from this type of switch. The design he has in mind consists of an armoured solenoid with a moving core carrying an insulated double ended brush that connects two contacts situated one on each side of the solenoid. We will send a design for this as soon as possible. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
