[TR] C40 generators

[Anthony Rhodes]

Apparently the generator and voltage regulator for the TR2-4A evolved over
tone. Initially they were rated for 19 ps, then later rated for 22A. Are there
any model numbers to distinguish which generator is which?  And which
regulator is which?

Internally how we're they different?  I once thought that there was no change
in the generator, it was just pushed a little harder by the regulator. But I
have not clearly identified a difference between older and newer regulators
relay windings.  Recently a friend noted a possible difference between
generator armature windings. One had 5 turns of a pair of wires for each
commutator terminal while another had 6 turns. Could 5 turns be for 22A and
6turns for 19A?

I have 2 spare generators both are stamped Lucas and C40-1. One seems to be
dated 1965 and the other 1976.
