Lidsey} ~~ Bentley Hammer for Wheel Hubs. ========================= We are anticipating receiving a sample Moseley hammer, similar to what we use on the Rolls-Royce chassis but made with a specially heavy head of 2 1/2 lbs, to try out for use in connection with Rudge Whitworth hubs. We think however there may be some doubts about this hammer being suitable, and that we should have a metal hammer to consider as an alternative. It has been agreed that the copper hammer with wood handle, of which we have a sample, is a poor job, and we should, therefore, be glad if you would make up a metal hammer to Lec. 3595 as an alternative to try out against the Moseley. Spencer Moulton (handwritten) Lec. 3595 is designed with a head of the same weight as the copper hammer, namely 3 1/2 lbs but this can be cut down experimentally till the minimum required weight has been obtained. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Blueprint attached. | ||
