| Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} x196 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}4/LG3.1.24. ENDLESS AND JOINTLESS BELTS FOR FAN AND DYNAMO DRIVES. So far we have not been able to run these belts successfully on the Fan but we have had one which has completed 3,000 miles running on the Dynamo. In the case of the 40/50 HP. Dynamo Belt, it is nearly half a days work to get the endless belt fitted so that we want to be sure of a very definite improvement before we could recommend it. So far, we do not feel justified in recommending any alteration to the present standard belt. MADE AT CROXLEY Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
