The outside carcase dimensions settled upon by Mr. Royce during my visit were as follows :- 40/50 dynamo = 6" 40/50 motor and Goshawk dynamo = 5¼" Goshawk motor = 4¾" The corresponding armature dimensions are :- 40/50 dynamo = 3.5" 40/50 motor and Goshawk dynamo = 3" Goshawk motor = 2.75" We want the 40/50 dynamo to cut in at 400 average temperature, to give the full output of 10 amps. at 15 m.p.h. maximum output to be 12 amps. Carcase diameter is 5¾" For the Goshawk dynamo we want 7 amps. average, 9 amps. maximum, 5¼ amps. minimum. Carcase diameter 5". What would be the cost of manufafture of these dynamos ? X.3526 - 40/50 dynamo. X.3533 - Goshawk dynamo. X.3082 - 40/50 starter motor. X.3534 - Goshawk " It is suggested that an armature with 26 slots, 51 sections, two coils per slot, and therefore one dummy coil, be used. The air gaps should be - 4.5 for the 40/50 dynamo .012" for the Goshawk dynamo .015" for both motors, measured radially. Contd. | ||
