| TO DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to CD. BN.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EPC. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X.3814 RE "BUZZARD" WHEELCASE AND GEARS. ORIGINAL. E2/G8/5/20. (3) We send you herewith drawing No. LeC.1234 shewing the designs for some of the main units on the "Buzzard" Wheelcase and gears as follows:- (1) Main Transmission Gear Wheel bearing with crankshaft pinion. (2) Camshaft Drive and Governor. (3) Dynamo Drive Intermediate Wheel. (4) Front end of Dynamo and Dynamo Wheel and Spindle. The units named are completed, but the main body of the wheelcase has yet to be designed as regards bolting etc. Details may therefore be proceeded with for these units while a complete scheme will be sent later dealing with the wheelcase itself. Would you kindly return a blue print at the earliest possible moment. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} RECEIVED EFC 01 LO 192I | ||
