| BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} SPT. 8137 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 8/KT.6.1.33. BALANCING OF PROPELLER SHAFTS. We are sending you a diagram of how we recommend correcting unbalance on the Peregrine(Experimental Bentley car never produced / Aero Engine) propeller shafts. It is not possible to do so in an exactly similar way on the 20/25, as a flange that can be drilled to a depth of .500 will foul the bronze selector housing casting, and also, unless given a set, will foul the row of bolts supporting the engine. Will BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} please look into how best to fit in a flange for drilling to correct unbalance. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
