| 312 To EJJ. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/WB.{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}3.11.38. 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. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} | ||
