| To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} -2- E3/G31/5/19 Contd. the castellated type of drive, in which case the design should be altered as follows. The front joint should be made with the simplest form of dust cover, thus - SPLIT the rear joint should be made with spherical location, thus - The coupling tube should be as described for the fabric joints as regards different diameters, and coupling flanges. Would you kindly send a fresh scheme to Mr. Royce, shewing the serrated form of drive, and the revised fabric coupling drive. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
