| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. C.E. WST X6091 BY/RD6/W.16-9-32 Re :- "Japan III". Starter Motor. With reference to your request for an additional Starter Motor having a field winding, the teazer of which is to be 20 S.W.G., .036" diameter, in conjunction with as large a cross section as possible for the main winding, may we point out that you have already had this and it was reported upon in April. For your information, we attach hereto a list of the various field windings which have been instructed for this motor, and you will see that you are now asking us to give you a smaller teazer and larger main winding, which is almost identical with No.2.
