Ex I 52 P III REAR BRAKES DISTORTION TESTS ON CARRIER PLATES Distortion At Various Points On Dust Excluder. Numerical readings around the plate (clockwise from top): -.012, ZERO, ZERO, -.020, -.050, -.045, -.018, ZERO, -.055, -.037, -.036, -.020. No Distortion Observed At The Carrier Plate All Readings Taken At This Point Inner Carrier Plate G 83531-2 Outer Carrier Plate G 83392-3 Dust Excluder G 83399-400 No Distortion On The Carrier Plates Note:- The Carrier Plate Assembly Heated To 350°C And Cooled. This Operation Being Repeated Five Times. On The First Heating The Assembly Was Cooled In Air. After Subsequent Reheating Was Quenched In Water. ROLLS-ROYCE, LTD. PRINT ROOM 14 AUG 1938 DERBY | ||
