Half charge :    20 M.P.H. Cuts in
        30 M.P.H. 5.5 amps.
        40 M.P.H. 8.0 amps.
        50 M.P.H. 8.5 amps.
        60 M.P.H. 8.5 amps.
        70 M.P.H. 8.5 amps.
        75 M.P.H. 7.5 amps.

With head, side, tale and facia lamps on :-

        20 M.P.H. 7.5amps. discharge
        30 M.P.H. 2.0 amps. "
        40 M.P.H. 2.0 amps. "
        50 M.P.H. 3.0 amps. "
        60 M.P.H. 3.5 amps. "
        70 M.P.H. 4.0 amps. "

The dynamo brushes have, during the latter part of the mileage, been rather noisy. A light clicking sound is heard which gives an impression that the commutator segments have become uneven.
