Contd. in the same way, between which small rubber blocks would be pressed tightly, the blocks being in small units to allow for forcing home tightly. As the degree of flexibility required seems to be very small, fairly hard rubbers which would take a large load and have a long life, similar to those on locomotive spring hangar brackets, could be used. If you consider it worth while concentrating of any of the foregoing schemes, while tests of the new disc are going forward, we shall be glad to know. We have started to rough out No.6. It appears a good simple scheme, although its load capacity is unknown. AJS. | ||
