We wish to try out very quickly on a standard 40/50 motor an oilite bush in place of the bronze bush used at present due to the fact that on the 40/50 engine used in the tank the existing bush is not conveniently situated for lubrication. We have obtained an oilite bush and we shall be glad if you will incorporate this on one of our experimental starter motors in the Laboratory. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
