Huckerby}10.1.39. B.80 UNIT. Will you please make the necessary pieces to house the torsional indicator shaft off the B.60 Ex.32370 on to the above unit. So far as we can see the only new parts necessary are the nut and distance piece wedge slightly shorter than Ex.32372 for the B.60. The above is urgently required to test the crank for vibrations.
