| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Rg.{Mr Rowledge} CJ. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Dn. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} COPY. X634 (X17) 130 R/LG. 3.10.23. RE. ENGINE VIBRATIONS. Very pleased with demonstration at Hammersmith last week, but I have not seen further sheets you have issued. Believe we shall get still better results with trussed or stiffened frame, when we shall have got as far as we can expect for the present and should get these improvements into demonstration and production chassis. Later, we may find good to suspend rigidly at centre of gyration and take torque by flexible supports damped by rigidly supported friction damper in suitable places. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
