Solid Hall's Metal Bearings.

We want to test one of these at the Cold Storage Works to see whether it tightens on the shaft, and understand you have a spare bearing which we can use for the purpose.

Will you please fit up a crank pin assembly accordingly, using white metal clearance. We are sending the section of crankshaft into the shop.
