| X5005 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/MA.6. 6. 32. J.III ENGINE BEARER ARMS. These are so flexible that they completely nullify the torque reaction dampers. Could you make us a pair of arms that are the stiffest possible in the existing space? A test will then tell us whether we shall have to fit the torque reaction dampers on the crank-case or not. This E is at present considering. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
