| X4221 To E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} CRANKSHAFT TESTS. X4221 X3208 We attach herewith particulars of tests taken on Aero Engine Crankshafts. We are sending you this information because it may be useful when considering the new Aero Engine Crankshaft. At the same time, it should be borne in mind that so far we have run one diss crankshaft on the 20 HP. and that the results with that crankshaft on the engine were worse than with the standard Crankshaft. The next time we are running the disc crankshaft, we will send or bring the car fitted with it to W.W. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
