Ransome & Marles Bearing Co.,Ltd., NEWARK-on-TRENT. For the attention of F.O. Hickling, Esq. Dear Hickling, How soon can you manage to send me one of each of the following bearings for experimental purposes? - MDJT 1 1/2" x 72 mm x 1.3/16ths. LDJT 1 1/2 x 80 mm x 1.3/16ths. LJT 50 x 90 x 20. LJT 2.300 x 3.750 x .750. I presume the last two do not mind running under journal load only, which they have to do most of their life, or, will it be necessary to pre-load them ? Yours sincerely, [Handwritten notes on document:] [Top centre:] 1300 [Next to LJT 50 line:] 53 100 21 [Next to LJT 2.300 line, which is crossed out with an 'X':] 2 3/8 [Bottom of page:] X MK to 2 3/8 3 3/4 11/16 | ||
