Flanges Connecting Driving and
Driven Units to Fluid Coupling

PL.515, the original of which is attached to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH's copy, shows the flanges connecting the fluid coupling to the engine and the gear reduction unit on the Launching Winch.

Apart from these coupling flanges, the fluid coupling is one of the standard range of the Hydraulic Coupling and Engineering Co., Ltd., who have agreed to the modifications necessary to couple up to our units. Details of the fluid coupling itself and its connecting flanges are taken from the Drawing No.6792 of the Hydraulic Coupling and Engineering Co., Ltd.
