To EJJ. from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /NRC. {N. R. Chandler}
c. By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}

PH.III - TESTING CAST IRON FLYWHEEL.

With reference to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /NRC. {N. R. Chandler} 1/JH.9.4.38, suggesting a rig for testing flywheels up to bursting speed. In view of the relatively small saving per car which we can effect by the -change in the material, we now do not consider it worth while proceeding with this rig. Will you, therefore, kindly cancel the request for a design.
