| COPY. Hr. from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} TORQUE TUBE & PROPELLER SHAFT. RE DOUBLE THRUST FOR BACK AXLE. R.{Sir Henry Royce} has made certain decisions in regard to standardising a double ball thrust for the Pinion on new cars and present single thrust for old cars in service or on test, with the plain thrust removed and the over-run thrust taken up on the journal bearing. The question of where and how to bring this alteration in demands careful consideration. I think we should have a Works Committee meeting on the subject. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
