Potential commutation and overheating issues and the performance of brushes on a 29 coil armature.

Contd. -4- EFC4/T9.5.35.

Though there may be some little criticism of the present output curve, we feel we are perfectly safe as regards:-

(1) Commutation troubles
(2) Overheating,

not having forced the output up too much in the first instance.

The difference between the performance with wide and narrow brushes on the 29 coil armature is not nearly so definite.
