Lucas Electrical Co.Ltd., to be present at the unit test of their dynamos, we must be quite satisfied that we are able to reproduce on the unit test rig proposed, the required standard of dynamo in order to meet our conditions now required on the car. To do this it is necessary for me to prove that the proposed standard is satisfactory, a model of which can be kept by them, it having passed our requirements on a complete car on test. EP.{G.
