Phantom II 1st Speed Pinion. ------------------------------ [Handwritten] Issued Sxp Dy{F R Danby}/ss{S. Smith} We send you herewith drawing LeC.3105. In this design it will be noted that we have altered the splines on the pinion so that it will have a tendency to work into mesh, and come up against the roller race, and thence transmit the thrust through the side shaft to the thrust race at the front of the box. Will you please instruct this in parallel to the Experimental, and Works. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
