| V4698. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from HDY. {William Hardy} c. for E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ds. RHG. HDY. {William Hardy} 1/HP.2.10.33. Eccentric for Damper Governor Control. We think that the cutting away of the eccentric strap for assembling as instructed on our N. Sch. 3468 is unsatisfactory, and we now propose that the strap be made detachable from the piston so that the eccentric and strap can be assembled outside the box. This enables slots in the sides of strap to be used. N. Sch. 3843 herewith shews this proposal. HDY. {William Hardy} | ||
