| 1052 Experimental Department Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}13/AP. 23rd December 1936. E.W.Seaholm Esq., The Cadillac Motor Car Company, Detroit, MICHIGAN U.S.A. Dear Mr.Seaholm, Many thanks for your letter and the information collected by Arnold about your crankshaft dampers and the present situation of the V.8. flexible flywheel. We are just about to try this type of flywheel on our 12 cylinder engine, as we have not so far been able to eliminate completely the crankshaft period. We shall copy as exactly as possible the drawings you have sent us and will let you know the results when we have had some road testing. Best wishes for the New Year, Yours sincerely, | ||
