Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd.,
Derby.

For the attention of Mr. S. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Erylls.

Dear Sirs,

We now have pleasure in enclosing our latest GB.8 data book, which is a revision of the previous one relating to Hardy Spicer needle roller joints.

This latest issue has up-to-date illustrations of the current types, showing the following changes that have been made:

(1) The diameter of the needles has been altered from 1/8" to 3/32"

(2) The oil-reservoirs in the journal have been inter-connected.

(3) On the large types, there are longer bushes and the latest type of locking device for the races.

This new GB.8 catalogue should furnish some interesting and useful details for ready reference in relation to Hardy Spicer propeller shafts.

Yours faithfully,
HARDY SPICER & CO. LIMITED.

K.E. TATLOW.
Sales Manager.

ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO BE ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY.
