DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}15/G.13.12.38. HH. 437. Q oob BENTLEY III. PROPELLER SHAFT. At HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}'s request we have schemed as an alternative bearing housing to that shown on G.CD.213 and G.CD.247, the die-casting shewn on G.CD.289 herewith, the object being economy. We are doubtful whether the change is an economy, and should like this point settled before either scheme is finally decided on. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
