re Crankshafts.

We send you herewith blueprint: LeC.3660 shewing two model half size crankshafts which are required for experimental use, to compare the four bearing shaft against the 7 bearings.

These shafts are for a 6 cylinder engine, and although we are now more interested in 12 cylinder engines the comparative results of these two shafts will furnish the information required.
