Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has already asked for a light flywheel to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1416. In addition we should like a staggered plate of .015 set, the RAD-11 fixed to this plate. The two pressure plates to be thinner to accommodate the increased thickness of the centre. We should like .005 movement of the inner plate. If the synchromesh arrangement to N.Sch.4095 is ready in time we should like to run this also. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
