| RR 238(150 BKS.) (SH57. 29-6-20.) MP 224358 ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. INSTRUCTIONS. To EFC Order No. P.C. 103 Customer's No. X8660 Complaint Machine Returned from Hoopers. RE.25 off Chassis 71-RC.{R. Childs} The output of this machine is said to be too high. It was decided to give it a short run on the bench, only; disturbing it as little as possible, in order that it might be put on an experimental car in the condition in which it was received. It was run just long enough to be able to say definitely that the output is much too high, the peak being, 14.4 amperes at 18.0 volts, at 81°C. Instructed to go on 44 PK. Signed C.H.P. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
