DYNAMO, SWITCHBOX, AND DISTRIBUTION BOARD FOR THREE CHARGE SCHEME. X No. 6016 Drawing No. Part List Origin. To increase and more suitably proportion the dynamo output to customer's requirements. Experimental Test Report. By the use of two field resistances the dynamo output is suitably reduced for day running both Winter and Summer. Switching on the headlamps at any time, however, automatically restores full output from the dynamo. Curves issued under Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.9 /MA.8.7.32.
