X. 4383? 20HP CHASSIS. 56/S/3. COL. HEYWOOD.
DYNAMO.

Referring to EFC2/T221023, since with brushes etc., untouched, but Armature only reconnected, we find the output normal and satisfactory, I consider this shews that customer must have been running with loose battery connection and therefore the customer should pay unless BJ. considers it a matter to charge as policy.

Mr Brock should recondition Dynamo and hand over to EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}, for replacement when convenient on chassis.
