| Misc BRAKES + R ORIGINAL TO HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} Copy to re. SERVO JAGGERS. 20.HP. AND 40/50. +8370 T5370 Apparently the less effective cams reduce the tendency for servo jaggers, but Hancock in France says too much foot pressure is required. If this is confirmed I suggest we go back to large cam at 45°. The other modifications possible are slower speed servo - try 25% to 50% reduction - this would be much preferred if it had no other disadvantages. The only other idea is a dash-pot under the servo balance lever - R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
