| BY, FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M15. 2. 2. 28. X7340 EAC. 10. UNIVERSAL JOINT AND PROPELLER SHAFT. Herewith we send N. sch. 2547. shewing the 6" universal joint recently instructed by R.{Sir Henry Royce}, instead of the original 5" one. It will be seen that we have put down several alternatives, particularly as to the method of joining the joints to the propeller shaft. We therefore think it would be wise to wait for further comments from R.{Sir Henry Royce} before getting far with the detailing. Will you please send us an extra print for R.{Sir Henry Royce} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
