We have improved the contacts on the case and think this will now be O.K. Will you kindly let me know the result of your test. E.J.Brock. EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} PB.96. May 31st. 1923. TEST OF CONDENSER No.494. WITH IMPROVED CONNECTIONS. The capacity of this condenser was first checked and found to be .3 mfd. It was then given a run on the distributor, first outside, and connected by short lengths of wire, then normally fitted into the pocket. In both positions the condenser behaved quite well, there being no perceptible difference in performance with the condenser outside the distributor and subjected only to the pressure from within the case. C.A.P. 4.7.23. This condenser was yesterday handed to Mr. Warwick to be fitted to 7-G.II. Fitted to 7 G.II EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} | ||
