TORQUE REACTION DAMPER TO SUIT ALTERED CHASSIS FRAME FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}76 AND CRANKCASE FACING E.CD.395. Herewith please receive E.CD.444 Torque Reaction Damper - Bentley 111. This design was made for use on the Bentley 111 revised chassis to FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}76 and to suit the altered crankcase to E.CD.395, but, as it is now expected that the engine torque will be taken care of at the rear engine support, this torque damper will not be required. The drawing should therefore be filed, and the details should not be made unless requested later. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
