To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} x328 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 2/JH. 25. 5. 36. Phantom III Gearbox for Dynamometer Test. You are shortly going to fit 8HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} gearbox to 30-EX in order to dynamometer test the 45º gears. Will you please drill in the 3rd motion shaft the hole that would be necessary for the oil scoop if this were fitted. We wish to have this as the hole is bound to weaken the shaft and it should be dynamometer tested. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
