Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}1/AJ.9.5.30. FABRIC COUPLING. With reference to Cyl/DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}9.5.30. (1) We entirely agree with this. (2) We went into the matter of bulged coupling and found that we had carried out tests on this. Our results show that its life was not better than the standard coupling with rivetted plates, and that the bulged coupling brought up periods in the continuous gears.
