To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls}

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 5/KW12.1.34.

23-AE.
-------

We have decided to fit C.10 unit for testing the large balance weights to this chassis. For the purpose of this test the crankshaft spring drive damping load should be 40-50 lbs. at 17 3/4". We think this can be obtained by using springs GB.534, in conjunction with Ferobestos washers.

Y-4-BB UNIT.
-----------

While this unit is out of the chassis, will you please fit a camshaft to 1E. for slow running tests.

C.10 unit will only be in the chassis a few days.
