END THRUST OF PROPELLER SHAFT. X4027. We have carried out tests on hardened splines and white metal splines on Peregrine. We attach curves which show the results we have obtained. It will be observed that the white metal splines running in steel are actually a disadvantage. We are not yet satisfied that we have done the best possible with the splines and are carrying out further tests. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Sn.{Mr Sanderson} | ||
