TRANSMISSION SHAFT PEREGRINE. We have not yet released this part for production. N.Sch.3648 is the latest design embodying unit assembly and a Skefco type bearing made by Hoffman. We should like this fitted to 5.Per.II if possible, to decide whether it is an advantage over the existing scheme. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
