| To Df. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Ps. Ey/SS.{S. Smith} R GRY{Shadwell Grylls} X4553 E.L/HP.22.6.34. 3B.4. Roller Bearing Longitudinal Transmission Shaft Joint N. Sch.3647. With regard to the above, Mr. has now come to the conclusion that he has a better chance of overcoming the production difficulties on N. Sch.3647 than with the modified design, and as we prefer the former on account of its relative simplicity and lighter weight, we should like to proceed with N. Sch.3647 with the object of trying it out experimentally on a chassis. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
