| V3829 To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E1/M28.11.25. RE. EAGLE XVI. Z.3829 X.4114 (V3829) X.4116. With reference to your report Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG26.11.25., it would be interesting to know what is the behaviour of the floating bush. Is it actually turning round, or does the test merely amount to running a plain bearing, and if the bush is turning round, at what speed relative to the shaft? E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
