| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x328 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.15/KW.18.11.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III - Chunking. We wish to try a coupling which has considerable torsional flexibility between the engine and the gearbox. Will you please detail and make us one similar to that shown on N.Sch.3574 attached. The shaft dia. should be as at present on the SpectreCodename for Phantom III. The outer dia. should be as great as the crossmember will permit. We should like alternative rubbers of Durometer hardness 35, 45 and 55. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
