Title: [SB012ABZ], Letter from John F Ott to Thomas Alva Edison, February 13th, 1882
Editor's Notes: "I made the connections in locomotive and find several weak points." Reverse switch. With 10 ohm resis in field magnet it starts easily. Oiled bearings; one man can move it on the level. Belt tightener useless. Hughes says won't do anything for few days because of frost & soft ground.
