Re EAC - Torque Reaction Damper - Sec:5001. With further reference to our memo regarding the loading of the EAC. Torque Reaction Dampers, we have given the Works a test loading of 15 to 20 lbs. or 20 lbs minus 5 lbs. We have also told them to adjust the spring to obtain the above loading, but we feel afraid that in some cases to obtain the above loading, the Spring F.1456 may have to be highly stressed. Will you please have some of your Exptl: Dampers tested as called for on drawing E.71324, and let us know the lowest range of loading we can allow the Works to use. BY/SS.{S. Smith} | ||
