| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to EH. c. to EFC. X.3208.-RE 20 H.P. CRANKSHAFT. We send you herewith drawing No. Lec. 1060 giving you sufficient information to enable the crankshaft forgings to be put on order. We ask that the forging allowance may be generous at each end of the crank to accomodate any alterations that may be required. The drawing actually shows finished dimensions, and forging allowance should therefore be added all over. Would you kindly instruct the necessary material. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
