To FHC. from EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} Copy Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /TMW. X4383 EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 4/T30.11.23. X.4383 - DYNAMO NOISE EXPERIMENTS. We now return to you dynamo No.604, to which you fitted the straight slotted armature. This dynamo is now the noisiest we have ever had on the bench, but we think it is worth while comparing the effect on a car. Will you therefore kindly have it fitted to 3-GII in place of No.625, the noise of which other dynamo has been improved by changing the armature. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
