| X200 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Hdy.{William Hardy} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.10/KW.29.1.36. As requested by Hdy.{William Hardy} we give herewith Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}60 showing the axis of oscillation of a Bentley unit in a Terraplane type mounting. We think the height of the axis above the crankshaft centre line is to + 1/2 at each end, but are surprised that the axis is - so high at the gearbox end. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
