The rise of re-closing voltage at high dynamo speeds appears to be due to the fact that the dynamo cuts in again at these speeds and delivers a small output, this causing a change in control-brush potential and so reducing the effect of the extra coil.
The switch has now been sent - for fitting to 8 EX (not using the extra coil) in place of cuto-switch B, an old type on the car at present.
