R.R. 234A (100 T) (S.H. 159, 11-8-20) G 9800 Contd. -6- Cy1 - M27.4.20. b... The Bijur work is known by us to be good from past experience. c...

It is thought that, ultimately, it might be proved that we could omit the Epicyclic gear on the motor and turn the engine at nearly double its present starting speed. e... The current consumption of the Bijur Motor is not excessive as is the case with the Westinghouse. Cy. MQ/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} | ||
