20/25. BALANCE WEIGHTS.

We send you herewith as promised a scheme for attaching some intermediate half weights to an existing crankshaft on the Chrysler principle. - (LeC. 2936.)

Eight of these should be used in conjunction with four of the weights which were on the 20/25. that HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} brought to WW. on Tuesday last.

The drawing only deals with the means of attachment, and the weight itself requires correction for the magnitude of the mass.
