Lucas Foot Switches
Reports on the above were made in AD 48 and 49 in December 1929 and Jan 1930 (X4520) volt-drop figures being given in the latter.
A switch has run 4600 miles on 10EX without trouble. It was included in the volt-drop tests reported in AD88 36th ulto (X6082).
We have two more switches in the Lab and suggest that one of these might be fitted to 19EX which at present has a Court switch this make being now of no further interest to us.
