Re New Chassis Troubles.
--------------------

Below are some examples of troubles experienced with the electrical equipment we have recently had with imported chassis:

X.3034. (7) On chassis 74-TW, the main switch gave trouble due to improper connection.

X.3770. (8) On 25-DW, the Lucas cutout stuck. (This was wrongly reported under the heading "S. Starter" in my report 18-A on August, 17th 1920.)

X.3014. (9) On chassis 21-LW, the generator was noisy, apparently due to lack of oil.
