| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from ROY{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}1/MG17.6.33 continued "2" "Whilst resistance to wear is a point that usually demands more attention than resistance to breakage, our experience is that teeth finer than 12 D.P. are usually found to be on the light side. To secure long life the gear should obviously be as wide as you can possibly allow. "We trust these remarks will, together with the material we are sending you, enable you to put the experiment in hand, and we will be very happy to co-operate with you in the matter as fully as possible, to ensure the success of the application. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Att. 3 Discs of Fabroil material as mentioned above. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
