| To HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X4665 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}8/LG28.11.28. We require two Jaeger r.p.m. Indicators similar to that supplied to the Test Dept. The pointer moves twice round the dial for a speed of 6000 r.p.m. on the indicator in question. It would be preferable if this movement corresponded to 4000 r.p.m. if this could be obtained without delay. 'Multiplicator' gears will be necessary to suit our drive (= ½ engine speed) We require these indicators in connection with Schneider Cup engine tests. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
