| Contd. -2- wish to try the castellated type of drive, in which case the design should be altered as follows. The front joint should be made with the simplest form of dust cover, thus - SPLIT the rear joint should be made with spherical location, thus - The coupling tube should be as described for the fabric joints as regards different diameters, and coupling flanges. Would you kindly send a fresh scheme to Mr. Royce shewing the serrated form of drive, and the revised fabric coupling drive. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
