| X75. To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to EJJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/KT.26.10.31. VARIABLE SPEED D.C. MOTOR FOR TESTING AUXILIARIES. In August 1928 we bought a small 3 HP. variable speed D.C. motor which has been in constant use since and has proved invaluable. The total cost of the motor at the time was as per attached specification. We wish to purchase another of these motors. The necessity for a second motor has arisen because we now have the petrol pumps, water pumps and oil pumps to test for cars and the aero engines, and we cannot cope with them adequately without a second motor.
