| COPY. 11/6 Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner}10/JH.1.11.40 B.80 CRANKSHAFT DAMPER. ------------------------- In reply to your Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}10/ML.29,.10.40. There is no room to increase the inertia of our crankshaft damper flywheel. We could increase it by only 8% by asking for a modification to the pressing of the front suspension pan which is hardly worth while doing. A larger flywheel either in width or diameter will mean a drastic alteration to the front of the chassis. Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
