Sidgreaves - MD} Sor. c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Wy. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}3/AJ.31.10.30. FLYWHEEL VIBRATIONS. 25 HP. X. 5300. X. 634. The attached test has been carried out to ascertain the amount of deflection which takes place in the flywheel back plate and flange, and also in the crankshaft. We propose carrying out further tests of this nature sub-dividing up the places where the deflection occurs. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
