| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC X7625 E2/M23.2.28. c. BJ. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EAC.10. STARTER MOTOR. Please find attached blueprint of LeC. 2417. which should clear up the remaining doubtful points on the above. I am sorry that this matter has been delayed, but was just dealing with it when I went off ill. Some re-arrangement of the proportions has been rendered necessary to accommodate the armature and field windings. At the same time we have included a modification which allows us to use the standard Bijur Drip plug. The motor end cover has been cleaned up to render it a simple die casting.
