RNC. ----------------- Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/MN.28/9/34. ----------------- GRY{Shadwell Grylls} Bentley Rear Axle Pinion. With reference to making the inner race of the roller tail bearing on the Bentley Hypoid pinion integral with the pinion, we do not think we can alter the scheme shewn on EX 15037 and suggest that this should be detailed for further experiment. We understand that when using the outer race of complete roller bearings it will be necessary to select outer races to suit pinions as the accuracy of these cannot be guaranteed, but separate outer races may be obtained to sufficiently fine units in future.
