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.
