Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} [Handwritten Notes: [Scribbled out word], Y, 200a, also, 1158] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.7/MH.{M. Huckerby}19.1.38. CAR HEATERS, 6.B.IV, 27.G.VI, & 28.G.VI. Will you please modify the controlling rheostat of the car heater on 6.B.IV so that there is no resistance in circuit in maximum speedd position, and also reduce the brush load in order to reduce the motor stiffness (as discussed with T.Tooby). Will you please make these modifications as soon as possible to the heaters fitted to 27.G.VI and 28.G.VI while they are in the garage. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
