RE STARTER FOR AMERICAN CHASSIS.
S188

On drawing 1.C.1122 it is specified that the toothed portion of the flywheel should be made of D.H.N.S. would you kindly note the material for this part should be .3% carbon steel heat treated before the gear cutting operation.

Incidentally, I might mention that in the absence of the final information required for the American chassis engine, starter, we shall show the teeth on the flywheel narrower than given on scheme 1.C.1122.
