In view of the increased output now required from the dynamo, it is desired to try a scheme with a 36 slot armature fitted to the standard dynamo. This is an interim measure by which we shall find what increase in output is available with the new armature alone. A further increase in output can be expected by fitting the bronze brush gear now being tried out on P.III dynamo. The adaptation of this will be shown on a later scheme :- The projects then will be :- (1). 36 slot armature in standard dynamo. (2). 36 slot armature, bronze brush from cradle mounting. (3). As (2) but with long magnet case and sling mounting. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
