| file 1110 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Re Cross Cushioned Plate 13 1/2" We had not asked per 'phone for one of these, actuly, it was discussed by Mr Bacher & me at the show. This is quite a different plate to that used on the earliest P III. If it works well it would have the following advantages over the Borg - (a) Much easier to assemble with minimum run-out. (b) Lighter, (less inertia) (c) Cheaper. Do you agree to try one (sent free?)? WAC N.R.C. No more work on PIII's. | ||
