Mr Johnson July 4 I suggest that the propeller shaft tube should be strengthened as I have on various occasions come across twisted propeller tubes. Two recent cases are Lewis 951 and Dickenson 1540. This appears to be for the weakest spot in our transmission. F S Haddenly Attach to W Barrington's report on this matter This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
