EAC.10. 6" UNIVERSAL JOINT. X7340
Herewith we send N. sch. 2550. an alternative to N. sch. 2547. sent you a few days ago, shewing a proposal for turning the rings all over.
We should be much obliged if you would give us your opinion as to whether this is really a manufacturing advantage.
As far as the design is concerned it can be done without impairing the strength or wearing qualities of the joint.
