| HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} X634 DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/M27.2.31. P. 2. FLYWHEEL VIBRATIONS. As suggested by you we send herewith a print of N. sch. 3236., a very preliminary scheme of ball bearing at the back of the flywheel on the lines suggested by R.{Sir Henry Royce} We are not doing any more until we hear that it is going to do some good. We shall then require to put in some torsional flexibility into the clutch plate, and probably other modifications, but if this is of any assistance to you in the experiments it could be used.
