| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R. {Sir Henry Royce} c. to BJ. c. to BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X. 7430 R1/M9.5.28. DAMPED PENDULUM LEVER. We have today arrived at a suitable design for a damped pendulum lever having laminated springs that we think will give good zero running, and a certain amount of friction damping proportionate to the energy of the road shocks, or other disturbing influences. The scheme is capable of a small amount of initial friction which we think will be useful. We hope to complete the design within the next 3 days for trial on EAC.7. R. {Sir Henry Royce} | ||
