Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr.Brock.
Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.1/MA.4.7.33.

We send you herewith wiring diagrams of
the new scheme of dynamo control on the Bensport
Chassis.

It will be necessary both on the production
test rig and Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}'s engine unit beds for a C.A.V.
regulator unit to be always coupled up to the
dynamo when the latter is on test, otherwise
serious damage may occur to the dynamo windings
unless the dynamo is totally disconnected from
the battery.

We understand that it is the custom on the
unit test beds to test the dynamo under load in
order to determine gear noise in which case it will
be necessary for this regulator unit to be fitted
up as shown on the accomapnying diagram.
