With the increased width of outer race as shown on GW. 1979, we can accommodate rollers 15.8 m/m long, instead of 13.8 m/m, and we will allow for this in our quotation. The enclosed Drawing No. 43-579 F, Sec. 57 illustrates the special outer race and needle rollers for which we are quoting. Might we mention that each outer race must be assembled with its own complement of rollers as supplied. Our estimate is already in hand, and we shall forward our quotation to you as soon as ever possible. Meanwhile, assuring you of our best attention at all times, we remain, Yours faithfully, THE HOFFMANN MANUFACTURING CO. LTD. Enclose. Drwg. 43-579F Sec. 57. GW1961 GW1979 22023. | ||
