| 1530. To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth.10/AP.2.4.37. PHANTOM III. TRANSMISSION. We want to try a propeller shaft damper between the clutch and the gearbox, and as near to the clutch as possible. To accommodate this we should have to replace the fabric coupling by a laminated steel one similar to the one at the other end of the shaft. Will you please detail and prepare the necessary pieces.
