| HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} FROM DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}3/M11.11.27. re. REV. COUNTER. X912 [crossed out] X8170 EAC. 14. We have mentioned this to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer},and he is bearing the matter in mind when dealing with the wheel-case of the engine. It would appear however that we shall have to content ourselves with a drive from the end of the dynamo shaft. We believe the camshaft end is hidden by the slipper flywheel. | ||
