ETH and Auxiliary Generator set for Repulse nearly complete.
|
 |
| A visit to Bowers on the 1st March found the work on the ETH/Auxiliary generator set almost complete, all that was left to finish were the covers for the connection boxes, and the covers for the brush boxes. The above view shows the Auxiliary Generator end of the machine. |
 |
| This view shows the ETH Generator end of the machine, with the newly refitted coupling that is used with a short connection spool to connect the machine to the main generator. |
 |
| Another view of the newly painted British Rail Grey ETH Generator with the overhauled coupling and mounting bushes clearly visible. A comparison with the pictures of the machine when it first arrived in October provides quite a startling contrast! |
 |
| An internal view showing the commutator, without the masking, overhauled brush boxes, new PTFE insulators and now fitted with replacement carbon brushes. |
 |
| Connection box is shown above, with the connections all made to the terminal bar, simply awaiting fitting of the covers, which had yet to be cleaned and painted. |
