| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to Sir [REDACTED] HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BENSPORT FLYWHEEL VIBRATIONS. As requested by Derby we have looked into the question of providing a tail bearing for the flywheel in conjunction with the multi plate clutch, and send herewith R.{Sir Henry Royce} scheme 3673. showing a scheme which we think could be tried, and might prove good enough for standard if found of value. It will be noticed that we have found it necessary to push the crossmember back, but the advantage of this is that the whole of the pedal gear is unaltered except the lengthening of the stay to the crankcase.
