| LC142 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. K/KC/DPB/17.5.35 We have returned to you under cover of our advice note No.4116, one dynamo removed from chassis No.B.53.CW. (Messrs. Pass & Joyce). The complaint is "Dynamo not charging". This car has been twice into K for this same trouble. The cause appears to us to be due to oil finding its way on to the commutator and brush gear of the dynamo. This machine is being returned to you under a Repair Order No.1924. Perhaps you would wish to have a look at this dynamo before passing it through Repair Section in the ordinary course of events. K/KC. | ||
