Hand-drawn sketch with typed annotations of a pawl and ratchet mechanism.


Identifier  WestWitteringFiles\J\April1923\  Scan15
Date  30th April 1923 guessed
  
I left the pawls to West Wittering(Henry Royce's home town),
But cannot help sending you this.

60° fairly exactly.

About .3 or .4

About .1 or .125

3 pairs exactly diametrically oppo-site - i.e. 6 ratchets have teeth divisible by 2 but not by 6.

Pin driven in pawl tightly, not to carry load but to prevent movement shewn.
Scale about 5/4.

.3 or .4 wide.
