Faulty Dynamo YM35
Off Chassis 100RE

This dynamo was received in a dismantled condition.

Although the machine had been somewhat cleaned up, it was clear that solder had been thrown from the armature. It was found however, that the commutator was in a brand new condition, which suggested that solder had been thrown from the commutator connections, and that they had been resoldered, and the commutator skimmed.

An effort had also been made to rebed the brushes.

The field coils were obviously burnt out, although the insulation of the machine was OK on test.

This machine was one of the early type, with a control brush angle of 120°.
