| EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT REPORT REFERENCE Cont...... 5. Blade rod bearings without flanges appear to be giving satisfactory service and adoption of this design would mean a considerable saving in manufacturing time and cost. Similar bearings in our lead bronze are now being produced in the Experimental Department to gain further experience. 6. Further experience of the camshaft bushes is required before they can be considered satisfactory. Their advantage over shafts running directly in the RR.56 bracket is doubtful.
