| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X5010 E1/M20. 8.31. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} 20/25. BALANCE WEIGHTS. We send you herewith as promised a scheme for attaching some intermediate half weights to an existing crankshaft on the Chrysler principle - (Lec. 2936). Eight of these should be used in conjunction with four of the weights which were on the 20/25. that HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} brought to WW. on Tuesday last. The drawing only deals with the means of attachment and the weight itself requires correction for the magnitude of the mass. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
