I’m starting to plan out the electric circuits for my GE Cup Special.
It’s a 1925 Chassis and 1927 instrument set, but I’m using an early coil engine.
I’ve been looking at both relevant circuit diagrams
In Nicholson and it looks straightforward as regards
Ancillaries, horn , tail( +now front sidelights). Taking the Ignition feed from the panel to the coil rather than to the Mag.
However is it the case that the H setting for lamps sends
6v to each headlamp? But the L setting puts the headlight filaments
In series ie 3v to each lamp ( single filament)?
Thus the L setting is no use as a Dip setting so I suppose I’ll need to introduce a conventional
6v Dip switch. Or is it preferable to cut the right bit of brass strip( on the control panel)
Any constructive suggestions appreciated.
Using 6v LEDs throughout.
