In regard to the positive connection of the cut out shunt coil which goes to the dynamo side of the field fuse, it would appear to be better to run the sistoflex containing this wire between the middle of the armature fuse clips instead of in the present direction which renders it liable to being trapped between the armature terminal and the armature fuse clip in connection therewith. It would be rather a serious matter if this wire made connection to the armature positive terminal (as a result of the sistoflex being insufficient protection) because then the dynamo would be excited to full voltage without field fuse protection with the charging switch in the "off" position.
