TEXTOLITE TIMING GEARS.

When B.10 was in 5-B-lV chassis it was noted that the timing gears were exceedingly noisy.

While this unit is waiting for the flywheel experiments to decide which flywheel it should have fitted will you please rebuild it and let us have it on the test bed to finish off these timing gears. We could use this test to check whether the plate you have made to fit over the clutch to N.Sch.4190 does prevent the spring cartridge cases from flying out.
