| EFC. C. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Struck through] X. 8783 do BY/8/G.29.3.26. CHASSIS 71-RC.{R. Childs} and 89-MC. DYNAMOS. ------------------------------------- As no doubt you will remember we had a complaint from Hoopers in connection with the side lamp filaments burning out on the above chassis, and we requested Hoopers to have the dynamos changed and returned to us. Both dynamos have now been returned, one which we understand you already have, and the other was in the Stores and we have instructed them to send it over to you. I consider we should fit one of the dynamos, in exactly the same condition as it has been returned, to one of the experimental cars to see if we can produce the same faults as Hoopers complained of. I shall be pleased if you will let me have your report on the two dynamos when you have completed your tests. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
