X.4410. DISTRIBUTION BOX. CUT OUT SHUNT COIL CONNECTION.

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.
