Hancock - Head Chateauroux} c. to Mx.{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer} Y5005 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}4/MJ.12.2.32. Re. 20/25 HP. Diamond Engine Mounting Torque Reaction Dampers. In reply to Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}26/T8.2.32. We have tried out the spring E.71111 and find that it will give more consistent results than the present standard spring. We find, however, that it is necessary to drill the hole for the split pin at the extreme end of the bolt to obtain the load required. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
