ORIGINAL
R2/M20.8.23.
GOSHAWK ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. X4338
Replying to your EFC3/T14823., I have no
objection to the wording on the warning plates being revers-
ed{J. L. Edwards}, and following the still further suggestions by you, and
to make the warning shorter, I suggest we say:-
WARNING.
IF BATTERY DISCONNECTED DETACH CEN-
TRAL (EXCITING) WIRE FROM DYNAMO,
OTHERWISE USE OF CHARGING SWITCH
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE.
