| Contd. -2- EFC2/T26.11.25. the one or two more turns rendered available by this change to be got on the winding. This is to overcome the possibility of the motor continuing to run the engine if it does not start, should a slip of the foot on the press button temporarily release the contact - a phenomenon which can readily be explained. But it has been arranged with RD. that to clear the ground on this matter, it would be better to have a complete new set of instructions, so that RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} will know exactly where we stand in the matter. At present, there have been numerous minor instructions, the interpretation of which is rather complicated. Will RD. please arrange to issue the new instructions for the switch at his early convenience, the remainder of the instructions to follow in due course. Then, RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} will be able to proceed with one or two new double switch units whilst the remainder of the instructions are got out. MADE AT CROXLEY EFC. | ||
