Dear Sir, Further to our visit yesterday when we handed to you drawings illustrating the type of motor we should require for our Bentley chassis we now give you particulars of the power output of the machine now being used in order to give you an idea of the approximate power output we should require using our two speed gear. Maximum BHP. 1.3 at 1100 R.P.M. Stalling torque approximately 150 lbs. in. at maximum BHP. .6 All these figures are taken direct from the armature shaft. We also confirm our discussion with your Mr.C.E.Robinson regarding regulators when it was agreed that he would obtain for us from Acton two new experimental regulators with 1 1/4 turns series winding which he considered would give us approximately 22 amperes output at 13.6 volts.
