| X 212 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M28.1.33. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X. 4553 X. 634 BENSPORT FLYWHEEL VIBRATIONS. As requested by Derby we have looked into the question of providing a tail bearing for the flywheel in conjunction with the multi plate clutch, and send herewith N. scheme 3678. shewing a scheme which we think would be tried, and might prove good enough for standard if found of value. It will be noticed that we have found it necessary to push the crossmember back, but the advantage of this is that the whole of the pedal gear is unaltered except the lengthening of the stay to the crankcase.
