| A/c from R C. to E, Rg{Mr Rowledge}, Cj, Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}, By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Re Engine Vibrations X634 Very pleased with demonstration at Hammersmith last week, but I have not seen further sheets you have issued. Believe we shall get still better results with trussed or stiffened frame, where we shall have got as far as we can expect for the present and should get these improvements into Administration & production chassis. Later we may find good to suspend rigidly at centre of gearbox & take torque by free supports damped by rigidly supported friction damper in suitable places. Sorry to say after visit to London I got influenza cold with neuritis and have been delayed here so am returning home Saturday by train, and shall be released if you will send someone to Peterboro on Saturday morning G.N. taking about 11am, & bring No 4 Goshawk to Derby for Dampers & Trussed Frame if letter proves as I think a further advantage. Kindly type & distribute R Let Driver have letter to Garage for Rolls-Royce No 42X, in case I do not see driver at Station will leave it at nearest Garage. | ||
