ENGINE COUPLING X. 8305 We send herewith LeC. 2054 shewing a multiple disc fabric coupling consisting of three discs, the total thickness of the three being equal to that of the thicker fabric recently instructed for the EAC. engine coupling. This coupling is for test purposes only, to get a comparison and see whether any benefit is due to dividing the material up into thinner discs. AJS. | ||
