| G7005. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} c. to BY/SS.{S. Smith} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.7/KT.7.11.31. DIAMOND MOUNTING P.II. TORQUE REACTION DAMPER POUNDAGE. The above should be set just to turn with a load of 25 lbs. at the end of the long arm that fastens to the wheelcase (5.250" radius) This is effected by a load of approx. 125 lbs. on the centre bolt. The spring E.53020 carries a load of 100 lbs. in position, we therefore suggest that a slightly stronger spring be adopted. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
