| Contd. -2- EFC2/T29.11.21. C.A.V. EQUIPMENT FOR THREE CHASSIS. Battery. It is proposed that the C.A.V. Willard 12XR.2. battery be used, two of which we already have in the Elec. Expl. Dept. Starter Motor. This will be the C.A.V.4½" type SC starter motor, similar to sample machine already supplied to us, but with mechanical details slightly different, as already arranged by the D.O. with Messrs. C.A.Vandervell. Starter Motor Switch. The foot operated model of the two samples recently submitted to us by Messrs. C.A.V. has been approved, so that the two switches may now be ordered. The two samples will be returned to Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}/Ms. Ammeter. Standard Weston, as used on 40/50. Dynamo. This will be the C A.V. type DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions} dynamo, single field winding third brush control, similar to sample machine already supplied to us, with the exception that it is thought advisable to have a terminal cover to protect the otherwise exposed terminals, because with the arrangement as proposed these terminals will be alive when the charging switch is on and the dynamo not working. Will Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} please note that this modification may, of course, make a small addition in the price. We have accordingly written to Messrs. C.A.V. regarding this modification. Other than this, there appear to be no modifications necessary. Cutout. It is proposed in this instance to use the Bleriot cutout, of which we have quite a number which are approved.

This print does not show the internal connections of the box, but if these are the same as their switchbox No.6, of which we have a sample in | ||
