| To R.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Ru. c. to SS.{S. Smith} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} ORIGINAL x5300. x634. FLYWHEEL VIBRATIONS. 25 HP. The attached test has been carried out to ascertain the amount of deflection which takes place in the flywheel back plate and flange, and also in the crankshaft. We propose carrying out further tests of this nature sub-dividing up the places where the deflection occurs. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Ru. | ||
