Will you please send to WW. a RR. cutout wound for 24.Volts, that is 12 cells in-stead of 6.
It should be mounted on a piece of bakelite or other suitable insulation provided with the usual three terminals. The fine wire resistance would be approximately 280 ohms; the amperes are for a maximum of 15 (the standard Bleriot-Phi cutout stands the current quite well.)
The three terminals might be:-
(1) D+ = end of series wire, the other end to frame and to the contact.
(2) B+ = insulated standard carrying contact.
(3) D- = end of fine wire, the other end connec-ted to frame of cutout, as*
