| 6139. To DY{F R Danby}/MD. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E.8/HP.16.10.34. c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Electro Magnetic Starter Switch. I am sending you herewith Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/wst.10/MA.10.10.34, together with blueprint. Will you kindly let me have your views on this proposal. There does not seem to be any carbon break on this switch and I certainly think from our experience that there should be more elasticity in the copper brushes. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
