Identifier  ExFiles\Box 72\3\  scan0353
Date  19th February 1924 guessed
  
RATIO OF THE MOMENT OF INERTIA OF E.A.C & GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) CLUTCH PLATES.

E.A.C. CLUTCH PLATE. SECTION.
Diagram Dimensions (from top to bottom, left to right):
.10, .07, .06, .09
2.5 RAD, 4.2 RAD, 7.0 RAD
AXIS OF ROTATION.

GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) CLUTCH PLATE. SECTION.
Diagram Dimensions (from top to bottom, left to right):
.10, .06, .10
2.45 RAD, 4.0 RAD, 5.2 RAD
AXIS OF ROTATION.

I EAC / I GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) = 5.6

OR - MOMENT OF INERTIA OF E.A.C. CLUTCH PLATE IS 5.6 TIMES THAT OF GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine))
