| X7010. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 9/MJ.23.3.31. PHANTOM 11 CHASSIS. CRANKSHAFT WITH FOUR BALANCE WEIGHTS. Replying to By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /CS1/EH20.3.31. We do not believe it is worth while going ahead with the special crankshaft in Nitro Alloy for the four balance weights scheme. We have got a standard shaft running fitted with four balance weights and we think there is very little possibility of this scheme being adopted. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
