If therefore the car is running and the red
lamp is lighted, this indicates that for some reason the
dynamo is not charging. When the car is stationary the lamp
is lighted, unless or until the switchbox is locked.
There is a main fuse provided between dynamo
positive supply and the battery positive, which also acts
as a distributing fuse for the starter motor relay circuit
when the dynamo is not running.
There is a distributing fuse for the side, tail,
inspection and body lighting portion of the switching and,
lastly, separate head lamp fuses, one for each lamp, are
independently provided.
These units will be brought by Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} to show to R.{Sir Henry Royce}
on his next visit to W.W. Further particulars will be
given in a later report.
