Thank you Ted you're making me blush. The really embarrassing thing is that there are about 20 errors in it mainly of a grammatical nature. So hopefully tomorrow the amended version will be posted to replace what is there which itself is a corrected version!

My problem is that I am quite dyslexic & when I read something I have written with errors, the brain software bypasses what my eyes see & superimposes what it thinks should be there.

The way to weed out the errors is to print out something & read it the next day or read out aloud what I see on the screen. That forces the brain to connect to the eyes rather than to my memory.

"This is the the sought of think I right & not everywon nose watt I meen to to saw"

It's not always quite as bad as that but you get the idea. It slows up any writing as even a simple post like this will have been corrected many times

In case people wonder what has changed yet again!

The version (V4.3.1) posted on 8/9/11 was a major upgrade in alternator construction and testing, there are 18 additional pages with 30 new images.

The version (V4.3.2) posted today 12/9/11 corrects about 20 dyslexic errors that defied my repeated checking until it was uploaded when they all became embarrassingly obvious. In the light of more data purchased a few days ago I have been able to expand the section the diodes types used in the generator. If you enjoy part numbers, CV codes, NSNs etc then this section is for you.

As this is a living document, rather like an EMER, sections can be amended & added to make it as comprehensive as possible. I am particularly keen to hear from anyone who can add any data or references to the generator diodes of their various kinds.

On behalf of Clive who currently has internet problems, here is the latest up date to his article;

"All Charged Up version 4.3.3

No dramatic changes. I don't expect people want to trawl through the whole thing again looking for changes. These are mainly:

Page 12 Use of Avo 12 described (cos I'm very excited as I bought another one at the weekend).

Page 9 Rectifier symbol added to help diode picture.

Pages 23 and on ... "Conundrum of diodes, etc". In the light of 3 more documents seen recently I have been able to augment some info and can clearly show that the Army on several occasions got confused between the various diode types used.

Page 26 Thanks to Phil B for pointing out some of the replacement diode types used.

Page 55 Photo of the elusive black generator"

Thank you for doing that Richard. I think I'm sorted now.

It has now been superseded by ver3.4 only changes are on pages 26/27 where there is some clarification about replacement diodes & further suggestions.
