| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Mis Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/KT.5.9.32. x BIG JOURNAL PEREGRINE UNIT. We should like the crankshaft damper on this unit to be built up with dry Halo friction discs; the load to be between 10 and 15 lbs at 17". This cancels our previous request for 7 lbs. This higher load should make more certain that no slip exists due to driving the fan pulley. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
