| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from AJS. c. to CJ. RG.{Mr Rowledge} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3829 AJS1/ M21.12.25. RR. E.XVI. DIRECT DRIVE PROPELLER SHAFT. X.4114 X.3829. We send herewith drawing LeC.2185 shewing a rough stress curve for the above which has been taken out rather to indicate its weaknesses than to get an absolute stress reading. We would ask you to make slight additions to the bore of any shafts which are not finished machining in the bore at present. The additions are indicated on the bottom L.H. corner of the drawing.
