| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Sft.{Mr Swift} X522 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}13/KW. 26.3.35. Lightened Torque Reaction Dampers for 20/25. We are handing you herewith drawings of the lightened type torque reaction dampers which we are proposing to fit to the 20/25 with the rubber engine mounting, to damp out uneven torque when the engine is idling. The chief modification to the sheet steel pieces is the use of lightened material. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} is asking for some of these for Trials cars. We should be glad if you would go into the matter with Sft.{Mr Swift} and see if they can be made with the existing tools. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
