Noisy dynamo bearing on an experimental 25/30 HP model, with a handwritten note suggesting it's due to a lack of lubrication provision.

Hancock - Head Chateauroux} DAVIS CHATEAUROUX. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux}/9/JAB.22.8.37. 600a 26.G.VI.- 25/30 HP. Dynamo Bearing. The new roller bearing at the commutator end of the dynamo has developed a noise like the previous one that gave trouble. Some provision for better lubrication or possibly a larger bearing will be required. This dynamo is an experimental mock up, with no provision for retaining or replenishing the lubrication. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} This is the 2nd bearing to give trouble, correct parts should be sent to Waller. RB.{R. Bowen} | ||
