| contd :- -2- the experiment outlined herewith, in due course. Handling the work as you indicated is good for extreme accuracy, but is not a production scheme, which we endeavoured to design for. It is slow and awkward, and not really interchangeable. It may be quite unnecessary: any flywheel should go on any crankshaft. Don't be satisifed until they are produced separately by economical methods. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
