(Copy for attention of Mr.Hives) Re Engine Coupling Dear Sir: I mentioned to you the engine coupling discs which we were considering, which had increased thickness between the attachments, in the form of conical rubber inserts. Six of these are on the way to Derby, addressed to your attention. They are designed to avoid splitting of the fabric on the compression side. We shall appreciate results of your tests of these. Yours very truly, Maurice Olley MO/E | ||
