| Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X7300 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 7/M10.10.28. LIGHTENED CLUTCH & FLYWHEEL - SERRATED X.7300 X.1360 X.7340 UNIVERSAL JOINT. No.5. With reference to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 5/LG2.10.28., we suggest that a thing which might be immediately tried is either a stainless steel plug in the crankshaft on which the ball bearing slids, or else cadmium plating of the same part. When the modified arrgt. for SS. {S. Smith} is tried we think the lubrication conditions are very much improved, but there are still further proposals we could make if necessary.
