Will you please order for the Experimental Department for use on the 20 HP. chassis, bearings of the type shown on print No. 212 (Drawing No. 41-443Y) Hoffmann Nos. The dimensions of the bearings will of course be the same as the present New Departure i.e. 72 m/m.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} outside diameter, 30 m/m inside diameter, and 30.16 m/m wide. If these bearings become available I would like RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} to use them instead of the Schubert bearings referred to in BY8/G.30.10.28. WW. rather favour this type of bearing. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
