| VA.5/ET.II.I.39 - 2 - For your information, we have sent the owner another dynamo and a new D.53745 triangular resistance. Gallas has examined the dynamo and considers the trouble to be due to a 30 amp. fuse being fitted to the dynamo field, instead of the standard 4 1/2 amp. type. Of course we do not know if the driver's statement is correct, and it is for this reason that we should like to have a few details from you, because the cost of repairing the dynamo is going to be a bit high. Trusting that you are keeping quite fit and with kind regards to yourself and Mrs. Waller, I remain, Yours sincerely, V.{VIENNA} Allen V.{VIENNA} Allen.
