| To Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to EH. c. to EY c. to EFC. EE/G291018. X.3389 - RE "CONDOR" EPICYCLIC GEAR .66 reduction We send you herewith No. Lec.1018, shewing the alteration to the .66 reduction "Condor" gear providing for a limited universal anchorage for the sunwheel. The nose housing is the same piece as used on the .55 reduction, having the same number of bolts. The anchorage sleeve is slightly shorter to suit the different dimensions of the gear. Would you kindly adapt this drawing to the general arrangement of the .66 gear on which you are working.
