REF. FEP/HFC Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. November 17th. 1938. For the attention of Mr. Swindall. Dear Sirs, Metalastik Flexible Couplings for Dynamic Drive. ---------------------------------------------------- We have pleasure in informing you that we have despatched the 3 Metalastik Flexible Couplings to your Works. In your letter of the 24th. ult. you requested that the torsional flexibility should not be less than 8° at the maximum torque of 10lbs/ft., and we have succeeded in complying with this condition. Enclosed please find our drawing No: 20045 showing the torque-angular deflection curves for the 3 different couplings. In our opinion the 30 hard rubber is too flexible but we hope to have your comments when all 3 have been tested. Yours faithfully, METALASTIK LIMITED, [Signature] Technical Department. ENCS: | ||
