Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 5/G.21.10.38. BENTLEY 111. FRONT HUBS. FJH {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} We want to use A {Mr Adams} /C. bearings with wire wheels on the Front Hubs of the next B.111 car which goes to France. PD.240 shews the A {Mr Adams} /C. bearings applied to Disc wheels. PD.122 shews the latest wire wheels with the present standard type of bearing. We believe it is only a case of producing a detail combining these two drawings, and if this is so, perhaps you could produce such a detail. If there appears to be any design required, if you will let us know, we will give you a scheme. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
