Calculation and diagram comparing the moment of inertia of E.A.C. and Goshawk clutch plates.

Identifier  ExFiles\Box 72\3\  scan0353
Date  19th February 1924 guessed
  
RATIO OF THE MOMENT OF INERTIA OF E.A.C & GOSHAWK CLUTCH PLATES.

E.A.C. CLUTCH PLATE. SECTION.
Diagram Dimensions (from top to bottom, left to right):
.10, .07, .06, .09
2.5 RAD, 4.2 RAD, 7.0 RAD
AXIS OF ROTATION.

GOSHAWK CLUTCH PLATE. SECTION.
Diagram Dimensions (from top to bottom, left to right):
.10, .06, .10
2.45 RAD, 4.0 RAD, 5.2 RAD
AXIS OF ROTATION.

I EAC / I GOSHAWK = 5.6

OR - MOMENT OF INERTIA OF E.A.C. CLUTCH PLATE IS 5.6 TIMES THAT OF GOSHAWK
