INDIA(Production 20 HP. with 4-speed box and Front Wheel Brakes) 3 - UNIVERSAL JOINT AND PROPELLER SHAFT. X.5340 X.4183 Herewith we send N.Sch.2589 shewing the 4 1/4" Mechanic's universal joint made on the lines of the one recently done for SS. {S. Smith} We have made some slight modifications to the bevel pinion shaft and the gearbox mainshaft in order to reduce the diameter of the flanges, and reduce the amount the universal joint sticks out. If you think any difficulty will be experienced in introducing these two changes we shall be glad to have your remarks. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
