E.CD.587 WATER PUMP COUPLING. Ex. MANGANESE BRONZE & BRASS CO. Will you kindly have two sets of the six couplings completed and handed to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. for test purposes. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. please arrange to run these couplings on a rig which has the driven side out of line with the driving side. Three further sets of couplings with rubber of 35, 40 and 45 durometer hardness have been ordered. When they are delivered they should be tested in a similar manner. Please issue a report when the tests have been completed. BY/NS.{Norman Scott} | ||
