| DI/NO. c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1262. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}9/G.14.10.38. B.111, B.50 and SILVER WRAITH. PROPELLER SHAFT JOINTS. Herewith is FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}278, a suggestion for ensuring that the joints will have a minimum angle of 20° of movement. The modification can be carried out on existing pieces. We have sent a print to Hardy-Spicer for their comments, and as an alternative to their proposal to file the needle bearing housing. We suggest that it would be worth while to modify an existing joint for test. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
