Just noticed a You Tube video about Calypso.

Thanks for the link, Colin. I've seen a couple of documentaries and also read the book about Calypso and it's interesting to see how they modified, rebuilt and repositioned her during her lifetime. Case in point is the helicopter pad which used to be located at the bow and was later moved aft, for visibility reasons I assume.
Hullo Dom......if you are chasing vibrations, so a few assumptions
Hi Derek, as always great to read your considerations. But not to worry, I gave her a dry test rund yesterday and I am happy to report that with the new double cardans and the newly machined inserts everything runs now smoothly as a silken cat
I guess Colin was right in his assumption that one of the the red cardan couplers I was using first must have been the culprit. In hindsight, I could have just replaced the vibrating coupler with a new, true one. But hindsight is 20/20, as the saying goes.
