Engineer}8/AP.5.11.37. STEERING ROLLER FOLLOWERS. We are now obtaining steering roller followers from Hoffmanns and have overcome the teething troubles with their productions. In order to assist them to avoid binding up due to crowding of the balls they wish to incorporate the small dimensional alterations mentioned in their letter attached. We see no objections to these and, if you agree, we suggest that our drawings should be altered to suit. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
