RE 20 H.P. CHASSIS 51-S-4. C.J. CAULFIELD ESQ.

I am attaching hereto copies of correspondence in connection with the dynamo on the above chassis.

As I considered the rate of wear is abnormal I requested the dynamo to be returned and I have now received same.

I would like you to run the dynamo just as it is and see if you can produce the same fault and if not then I should like you to examine it and let us have your report as to the probable cause of brush wear.

Will you kindly send your boy up for the dynamo.

BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}
