| Mr. Cbugh. from BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} COPY BY2-P.28.3.19. _________________________________________________________________ X.3545 - REAR AXLE - CENTRAL PORTION. Mr. Royce is proposing that we should get out a pair of bevel gears with a greater reduction ratio. Will you therefore get out the particulars for a pair of bevels having 15 and 52 teeth respectively, Which will give us a reduction ratio of approximately 3.47 to 1 instead of 3.25 to 1. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
