| X. 7340 BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DAL/M18.2.28. EAC.10 6" UNIVERSAL JOINT. Herewith we send N.sch.2550 an alternative to N.sch.2547 sent you a few days ago, shewing a proposal for turning the rings all over. We should be much obliged if you would give us your opinion as to whether this is really a manufacturing advantage. As far as the design is concerned it can be done without impairing the strength or wearing qualities of the joint. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
