PROPELLOR SHAFT DAMPERS.

We should like to run on 4-B-IV a damper to N.Sch.3911, as this is the one we are likely to standardise.

We have already instructed one for 21-G-IV and should like these two as soon as possible.

There are various differences between this damper and the EX one such as a bronze bearing and bronze friction surfaces, which need trying out.
