Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.5/MA.14.5.32.

EXPERIMENTAL HALF CHARGE 20/25 DYNAMO TO D.SCH.529.

Confirming our discussion on the results obtained it was agreed that in order to ascertain whether any still further improvement could be obtained you would instruct :-

(a) A new armature having 8 turns per coil of 17 SWG wire with the slots shortened to suit, thus giving a better iron circuit through the armature teeth.

(b) A new set of poles with a standard core section of iron but with the pole tip dia to suit the new car-case.

We would rather delay a final decision on the approval or not of this dynamo until these experiments are through.
