Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AES. 202 Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Dn6/ME.7.5.37. BENTLEY PINION BEARING. In accordance with By6/G.15.4.37, we have duly ordered from Messrs. Ransome & Marles Ltd. 400 Bearings No.S.5595, and which are now shown on our Drg. G.B.2680. The firm in question have confirmed that they will be able to commence delivery in 10 weeks from date. of order, and this means that delivery will commence approximately the first week in July. As nearly as we can judge it will, therefore, be possible to introduce this new bearing, as far as the bearing itself is concerned, somewhere between the 150th and 175th chassis in "K" series.
