Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}6/JH. 5.8.36.

We were wondering whether you could modify the first 1 7/16 gear you supplied for the Bentley, to bring it into line with the second gear and in addition to incorporate the outboard bearing. We would be glad if you would let us know, and also send us a print showing the outboard bearing.

Yours faithfully,

FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD.
