| TO BY, FROM AJS. C. to - BJ. HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} ORIGINAL x7625 PHANTOM STARTER MOTOR. x.7625 RECEIVED We send you herewith drawing LeC.2330., shewing Phantom direct drive 13 to 1 ratio starter motor, the principle of which has been described in a previous memo. You will note that this drawing has been made for a starter motor behind the flywheel, but since arranging it in that position we have discovered certain advantages in placing it in a similar position to the present Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) starter motor, and are sending you a drawing to follow this one which will indicate it in that position. It will also have a different cover at the driving end, and be attached to the flywheel casing by set screws similar to Goshawk(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)), in place of the long bolts shewn on this drawing. We expect to send you a separate drawing also of the terminals. Would you kindly let us have a print per return of LeC. 2330., as there are one or two little additions to be made, such as providing lubrication for the rear bearing etc. AJS. | ||
