Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MJ.4.9.29. x7010. x4499. S. S. STIFFER CRANKSHAFT. When we bring in the stiffer crankshaft we propose to incorporate the low inertia slipper wheel. We consider this is most urgent, and we should be obliged if you would issue a drawing showing the low inertia slipper wheel adapted to a stiffer crankshaft.
