| X6134. Ry/RD. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.5/MA.12.1.33. PEREGRINE STARTER MOTOR. We wish to try the experiment of using a parallel armature with a small step cut in, similar to the Bosch, with a view to ascertaining the effect on the engagement of our motor on the teazer winding. Will you please instruct a new armature and pole pieces accordingly. We suggest armature No. D.100364 is the best to use for this experiment as it gives the greatest BHP. We should be glad if you will put this through for us as soon as possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
