Ripplet Chassis Propellor Shaft Sec 6110 As requested by Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}, we have set out the Small Jointed Prop. Shaft for the above chassis, and attach herewith 2 blueprints of the following: PL 164 Propellor Shaft with Small Joints It will be noted that we have been able to use an existing prop shaft at the rear, but have found it necessary to make a new front prop. shaft, since the original small joint designs were for use with an early type of gearbox, the coupling for which was nearer the dashboard than with the latest type of gearbox. We attach to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}'s copy a blueprint of PL 164. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. | ||
