CHASSIS 103-DC. N DEPT.

Referring to Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/AVS12/MW14.5.28., we have received Mr. Brock's report on the dynamo returned from the above chassis, and it would appear that the output is normal.

Possibly what has happened in this case is that the customer has had his battery overcharged which would, of course, make the output of the dynamo high.

As certain modifications have been introduced since this dynamo was manufactured, we agree to it being brought up to date against A.T.D. but we consider the customer should be warned that if his battery is overcharged, he will experience the same trouble on the replacement dynamo.
