P. 2. FLYWHEEL.

Some while ago we sent you a print of N. sch. 3236. shewing the beginnings of an experimental arrange-ment of a bearing behind the flywheel.

Since R.{Sir Henry Royce} is now asking for some such arrange-ment we wonder if you will have a look at it and say if it is likely to serve your purpose, otherwise we must set about a new scheme, but presumably we should not do anything until you have proved the principle.
