RE* LEC.1279 - DIAGRAM OF ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 40/50 HP. CHASSIS AND LEC.1277 DISTRIBUTION BOARD.

With further reference to memo E2/G20/9/20 in reply to your EFC1/T16/9/20, would you kindly note that Mr. Royce agrees to your remarks concerning the position of the cutout with relation to the dynamo and charging switch, and he would like you to have the diagram altered accordingly.

It is presumed that the connections will now appear as below -

SMITH CUT-OUT

With regard to the other item you mention, Mr. Royce agrees that the fuses for the head and for the side and tail lamps should be changed round in position on the distribution board to agree with diagram Lec.1279 and the marks on the main switchbox.

E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer}
