| HYDRAULIC STEERING DAMPER Top Graph: OIL TEMP F DEGREES REDWOOD VISCOSITY IN SECONDS. THIN MINERAL COMPRESSOR OIL VISCOSITY 90°F 250 SECS. VISCOSITY 40°F 1600 SECS. RESISTANCE SET UP BY A GIVEN LEAK FOR A GIVEN FLOW WILL THEREFORE BE ABOUT SIX TIMES AS GREAT AT 40°F AS AT 90°F.{Mr Friese} EXTREME WORKING CONDITIONS THEREFORE IF ARRANGED FOR NORMAL TEMPS. THE LEAK IS LIKELY TO MAKE THE DAMPER INEFFECTIVE IN HOT WEATHER. Bottom Diagram & Graph: VARIABLE LEAK BACK PRESSURE ON PISTON LBS/D OIL FLOW THROUGH LEAK. PTS/MIN. FLOW OCCASIONED BY JOGGLE .055 DIA LEAK .046 DIA LEAK .039 DIA LEAK OIL TEMP 65F A.{Mr Adams} PR.{Percy H. Rose} GIVING 60 LBS LOAD CROSS STEERING TUBE RADIUS. B. PR.{Percy H. Rose} GIVING 50 LBS LOAD CROSS STEERING TUBE RADIUS. Stamp Text: RECEIVED 28 JAN 1927 DERBY | ||
