To: Jnr.{Charles L. Jenner} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden} 1116 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/RH.{R. Hollingworth}17.6.41. CRANKSHAFT DAMPERS. You will have read Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden}1/SW.12.6.41 on Crankshaft Dampers. I like the idea of rubber mounting the pulley. I do not think we can afford to have our connecting rod big end 3 1/4 ozs. heavier than it need be. Possibly you will deal with this as opportunity occurs. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
