| -2- large diameter of cutter, plenty of clearance; other parts of the circumference will guide the cage. Cage controlled by narrow surface only on each side say .075". To save time I should like to fit up the freewheel first without the cancelling device, but have the parts we do make specially for this test so made that we can add the jaw clutch and hand cancelling lever. We might arrange this hand lever as an emergency device in case the freewheel fails - we could take up the floor-boards and cancel it. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
