Recommendations to resolve an electrical issue by replacing the voltage regulator and examining the dynamo circuit.

We therefore recommend that you allow us
to change the voltage regulator for a new one and also
skim the dynamo commutator and re-bed the brushes as the
erratic operation of the regulator may have caused the
dynamo commutator to have become damaged. Also we
strongly recommend you to use the screening we have
suggested and at all costs avoid the fitting of any
condensers to any point in the dynamo field circuit.

If any further trouble is experienced,
which we do not anticipate, we should consider it advisable
to send one of our electrical research engineers to make a
thorough examination of the whole electrical system as it
would then be an exceptionally unusual case and would
require careful elucidation.

Trusting this will be satisfactory.

We remain,

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED.
