British-made chain gains Canadian accreditation

British-made chain gains Canadian accreditationKeywords: de Havilland, Renold Chain

Canadian aircraft manufacturer, de Havilland, has named British firm, Renold Chain, as the sole supplier of chain products for the critical control elements in the Dash generation of aircraft worldwide (Plate 12). The popular short-take-off-and-landing aircraft relies on Renold's ANSI 35 3/8" pitch chain to fly the plane in autopilot through links with an onboard computer.
