PHANTOM III DYNAMOS. (36 SLOTS).

These Dynamos will be Piece No: D.76276.

We understand that they cannot be passed off test because of light brush pressure. Will you please arrange to have the brush springs examined for poundage and new ones fitted if required.

In some cases, the brush clearance is only .002; .004 is the minimum allowable, and this should be corrected. When complete these machines should be despatched to Cricklewood as per our instructions BY/RD.10/B.28.2.38.
