| -4- HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GJB.3/21.11.41.cont'd GYROL CLOCKS AT V.T.N.A. TARLETON on Whirlwind Engine. EA 10. In the early stages of our tests the reversal of flows were so violent that we were not surprised at anything happening. The reversals were such that all the water was driven from the Gyrol clocks. The engine has been returned to the shop for inspection and repair. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GJB. Copies. 1 S.E.M. I ) 2 " II ) att: 3 CLAPHAM Chf.Ins.) | ||
