WRAITH II STEERING. When we visited the Adamant Engineering Co. yesterday, they showed us a scheme of theirs for holding together the two inner races of a ball bearing roller follower. This would be particularly useful to us when we have these pieces matched up by Ransome and Marles as it would ensure that the parts could not be mixed up with those belonging to other rollers. We suggest that this should be applied to the Wraith steering gear. Adamant Cos. Prints MA.21194. M.21195. M.21196. attached to E's.copy. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
