The series coil bobbin is not properly screwed down on to the base. It is not loose however, and it is unlikely that this defect has interfered with the working of the cut-out.

There are some specks of foreign matter in the gap between the armature and shunt-coil pole-tip. These sometimes, if magnetic or sticky upset proper working.

The cut-out carried 10.0 amperes for 5 minutes satisfactorily.

Note. The fixed point was wedged down for test. When screwed down tightly the reverse falling out current would probably be higher

Signed FPA.
