| X.6003 EFC. BY/RD1/W.5-2-31. RECEIVED 5 FEB 1931 X6003 Re :- 20/25 H.P. Chassis : Dynamo. X.6016. In BY/RD1/W.9-4-30, instructing two Dynamos suitable for use with the Half-Charge Scheme on the above chassis, we intimated that we wanted the die cast Commutator End Bracket testing, with a view to its adoption on Production. As we are now urgently in need of more material for 20/25 H.P. chassis, will you please let us know that you agree to the die casting and let us have the Control Brush position as with this scheme, of course, we shall have a fixed Control Brush similar to 40-50 H.P. This information is urgently required as we have expended the money on the die and wish to get it into use as soon as possible. BY/RD. | ||
