Dynamo on Car B-35-AE

The dynamo on this car has several times caused trouble through the brushes sticking in their holders.

Cleaning the brushes and holders, with the machine in position on the car, is only a temporary remedy, as the job cannot be done properly.

Will you therefore, please have this dynamo removed, and thoroughly cleaned and overhauled.

C.A.P

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst;

Has this been done?
