The dynamo has again ceased to charge on the above car. What happens apparently is that the relay switch does not make good contact, and is making and breaking the whole time and rattling like a machine gun.

This should receive careful attention because it has happened twice before in the history of this car and has been attended to each time by Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RO{C. C. Rose - Export Manager}/Piggott.
