SALERNI COUPLING ON EAC.7. Replying to your Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M15.11.30. We will carry out as soon as possible the experiments you suggest. (1) Increase the drag of the speed-up between the engine and the baulk ring. (2) Arrange for the clutch to come fully in when the coupling is disengaged. We have not yet been able to try the Maybach clutch with the helical third speed. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /H.Grylls. | ||
