Bentley / Mr Barrington} , Na {Mr Nadin} RE FRASER'S ELECTRIC DRIVE 1. The enclosed print is a form of the Frazer Electric Drive, reported in my letter Oy10-F28/8/19, and was designed for experimental use on a Ford car, but never used. 2. Apparently, a large diameter cylindrical commutator is used for the external or "generator" armature, which is wound as a "Gramma Ring" armature. The double pole regulating device had not been evolved at the time this layout was made. Oy Mr Clark (Sup). | ||
