Bailey - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} HSY. Bentley - Damper Flywheels on Transmission. ------------------------------------------ Herewith is N. Sch.3911 arrangement of damper flywheel on the Bentley transmission. The gearbox and Flange are unaltered and so is the propeller shaft except that the flange of the front end piece has been increased a little in diameter. Below is a scrap view showing how the arrangement can be fitted to an existing shaft simply by machining the present balancing flange. We have retained as much as possible of the balancing flange in both cases. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
