Hi Tony,

Yes, should have labelled it the starter solenoid which is what the "relay" is in the diagram.

Battery indicators (Ammeters) always measure current flow through them, as opposed to voltmeters which measure voltages across two terminals so putting the Battery indicator in series in the line is what is required.

The attached photo shows the round gauge panel from which I derived the diagram by tracing out the wires. My original wiring was so jury rigged, as they so often are, that I didn't trust it.

The schematic wiring diagram in the June 1943 Maintenance Manual is a bit misleading to the actual wiring on the panel and the later wiring diagram. It shows the Battery Indicator (ammeter) going directly to Earth. As per my tracing out the wires, and confirming against the Legend on the later wiring diagram that Hanno shows, the Battery indicator goes via the starter relay and the voltage regulator.

Hope this is of some help.

Cheers,
