| BY/NS{Norman Scott} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} file WPC 812. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}8/G.2.11.38. B.111 and B.50. FLYWHEEL AND CLUTCH. Referring to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}29/JH.26.10.38. we were under the impression that this had been dealt with from a previous memo. Will you please alter the LOP. of B.111 and B.50 to call for a 10" clutch. The flywheel will be common to Wraith and Bentley, except for the drilling for the clutch and the shoulder for stopping the bolt heads, which on Bentley will be made suitable for the 10" clutch bolt circle. A detail is required. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
