| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} +217 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 26/KW. 29:8:34: B.10 UNIT. (Fitted with narrow Crankpins). We wish to fit to this unit a light disc flywheel and Borg & Beck clutch to EX.12846, for further tests on high speed roughness. At the moment this clutch needs a special 1st motion shaft. We should like however on B.10 to use a new driven member coupling to suit the standard gearbox. We do not require a clutch spring centre and this should greatly simplify the coupling difficulties. The driven plate should be an ordinary B. & B. centre. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
