20 HP. DYNAMO. X.5661.

A 20 HP. dynamo fitted with special expl. 28 slot armature has been proved by Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} as practically noiseless on each of four different chassis, and he says that he feels it would be a great advantage if the tests could be pushed forward so that the alteration can be introduced as soon as possible.

We are asking the D.O. to instruct a similar armature for the 40/50, and also one for the 20 HP. with straight slots, to see whether the result with such is equally good, but in the meanwhile I shall be pleased if you will put in hand two further armatures of this 20 HP. expl. type with the 28 slots, to D.O. instruction
