| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} X.128 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}7/KW.27.1.34. Peregrine Gearbox. ------------------ We want to get some more experience on this Gearbox on the road, and shall fit it to another chassis as soon as possible! We should be glad however if you would look into how we can reduce the overhang of the back coupling, to be no more than that on the existing bentley box. We expect it will be necessary to move the cross member, and do not mind in the least if the balancing cam on the propellor shaft has to be machined off. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylls. | ||
