Lr{Mr Ellor}/Wst.14/JH.3.3.37.

Will you please arrange to modify one of our high speed dynamo rigs in the Electrical Laboratory, so as to make it suitable for driving a small aero battery ignition dynamos we are now testing.

This conversion is urgently required as we are anxious to carry out unit tests with these units which are proposed for the Merlin ExE and Vulture engines.

Lr{Mr Ellor}/Wst.
