| To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}, x312 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}5/KW.7.5.35. SpectreCodename for Phantom III Flywheels. We are very anxious to know how much inertia can be added to a SpectreCodename for Phantom III flywheel without fouling the crankcase. Please send us a sketch of what can be done and put in hand a flywheel with an added 1500 lbs.in. inertia if this is possible. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
