| FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} C. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 25HP. SYNCHRO MESH GEARBOX REVERSE. DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M17.11.31. X 5310. Herewith we send N. sch. 3367. showing the reverse shaft stiffened following the results of the recent experiments. It will be noticed that we have followed Derby's suggestion for the arrangement of the ribs which we think is preferable to the original arrangement. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
