In view of the difficulty experienced by ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} in finding anyone who would/be able to produce the fan pulley in the form shown on FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}260, we have altered the pulley making it in two parts welded together, one part being a pressing and the other a spinning. The thickness of the material to remain at 16.SWG. for the time being. Will you please detail and instruct for the experimental B.80 engines. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
