RE USE OF BALANCED CRANKSHAFT. ----------------------------------------- The Works are asking Order Office to release a further small supply of crankshafts. So far we have not introduced balance weights, and the Works have been working from hand to mouth, which they are still doing, pending a decision as to whether we should bring in the balance weight system for the balance of N.2. Possibly you are in a position to give us some guidance on this matter. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By [Stamp: RECEIVED NIGHTINGALE HALL 29 DEC] | ||
