| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} ORIGINAL P. 2. FLYWHEEL. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M23.4.31. r7300. Some while ago we sent you a print of N. sch. 3236. shewing the beginnings of an experimental arrangement of a bearing behind the flywheel. Since R.{Sir Henry Royce} is now asking for some such arrangement we wonder if you will have a look at it and say if it is likely to serve your purpose, otherwise we must set about a new scheme, but presumably we should not do anything definite until you have proved the principle.
