FOUR BALANCE WEIGHT CRANKSHAFT TO LEC.2874. The scheme we want detailing of this shaft is the one requiring the new forging. We have made the temporary scheme ourselves. We think it would be advisable to order the new forging in Nitro Alloy as this is a material we must get experienced with. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
