| S/W from Bt.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} Btl/IN/I.12.25. RE BATTERIES AND DYNAMOS. -------------------------- I am sorry not to have replied to your Hm{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs}/NRC{N. R. Chandler}9/EW25.11.25 earlier, but I have been on tour. I have met a few cases of complaint of undercharging and several where drivers charge from a charging board at night. As far as I can say most cases of under charging refer to 20 HP. cars. I've met two cases of dynamos melting the solder. The drivers denied that batteries were either poorly connected or disconnected altogether. Bt.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} | ||
