SERVO PLATE. We have been in communication with the Bifurcated & Tubular rivet Co. in connection with the trouble we have experienced when the friction disc is either broken or loose after rivetting. They recommend a 3/16 dia. hole to be used with the same rivets herewith and the sample we send you appears satisfactory. Will you please make the necessary alterations to all drawings.
