Please find attached copy of some notes expressing and comparing in a general way the various possibilities of chassis dynamo-battery combinations. The idea has been partly to make a written record of our general knowledge of the subject and possibly to assist in clearing up in the minds of those practically engaged on electrical systems misconceptions which may at present exist, with a further and more valued object of the avoidance of trouble and damage on actual systems on chassis, dynamometer and unit testing, where careful connections of the battery are not always the rule. It has also been to provide a general summary of the present position as a basis for further consideration of possible further improvements to the electrical systems on our chassis in the direction of providing some form, partial or complete, of external automatic controller which will reduce some of the disadvantages to which our present types of system are now subject. A further object is to put to R.{Sir Henry Royce} a general query as to whether we should proceed with general experi- mental work on various forms of external controller. Contd. | ||
