| RR 238 (500 Bks.) (SF 152. 6-11-18.) MP 197880 ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. INSTRUCTIONS. To E F C Order No PB122 (4) Customer's No. Starter Motor. Beyond a light deposit of carbon dust on the brush gear, there appears to be nothing to note on this unit. The commutator, although a trifle dirty in places, shews no signs of sparking having taken place, and the brushes appear to be in good working order. Starter Switch. When opened, this switch was found to contain only a few drops of oil. The break has been taking place on the inner contacts, some of which are badly burned. The contacts are a little eccentric, but they may have been so originally. Signed C. A. {Mr Adams} P. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
