| X5620 COPY WE.75. 22.1.31. X.5620 X.3587 R.R. 20/25 STARTER MOTOR DRIVE. We have tested another 20/25 starter motor fitted with a stronger spring in the Bijur drive in order to prevent undue slipping when starting the 20/25 cold. The current, gradually raised, which will cause the drive to slip was found to be 236 amperes. The current, switched straight on, to cause the drive to slip was 176 amperes. H.E.West. | ||
