Sidgreaves - MD} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.7/MA.20.6.34. 20/25 HP. CHASSIS VOLTAGE CONTROL. Replying to your By.16/G.18.6.34., we have now decided to standardise the constant voltage scheme on the 20/25HP. as the result of tests we have carried out on the new dynamo to R.R. Sch.581. Standardisation sheets are now being circulated for this dynamo, the load distribution board, Lucas C.A.V. Voltage regulator and new switchbox. The dynamo is a very satisfactory machine and gives quite good performance and the whole scheme should be an immense improvement on the 20/25HP. chassis. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
