Will you please hand this to W.Bell in such a state that he can measure the torque required to slip the top gear cone clutch for various load,s. The experiment to be done with the surfaces oiled. We should also like to know pressure on this clutch in normal use and the angle and poundage of the square wire spring actuating the hands of the other gears.
