| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to BJ. DAMPED PENDULUM LEVER. X7430 We have today arrived at a suitable design for a damped pendulum lever having laminated springs that we think will give good zero running, and a certain amount of friction damping proportionate to the energy of the road shocks, or other disturbing influences. The scheme is capable of a small amount of initial friction which we think will be useful. We hope to complete the design within the next 3 days for trial on EAC. 7. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
