| X217 RECEIVED To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} [STAMP: 15 SEP 1932 RECEIVED] c.c. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} For. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E.1/HP.15.8.32. re Bensport Crankshaft. We send you herewith a blueprint of LeC.3165 showing the type of front end we are expecting to use for the Bensport crankshaft. This you will notice finishes as a flange close up against No.1. main bearing, and is arranged thus for carrying the coupling driving the blower, and the mounting for the damper flywheels. The coupling shown on this drawing is the one also that we are proposing to R.{Sir Henry Royce} but the blower itself will be modified to the new proportions mentioned in our memo E/HP.13.8.32.
