JHW/EH. 99910 A Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 8th June, reference as above, and in reply we would mention that we have examined the inner races that have been face ground, and we think it probable that we shall be able to maintain the original overall width, but we cannot say definitely until we have fitted up one or two assemblies. We hope to advise you of the result in a few days time, and meanwhile, assuring you of our best attention at all times, we remain, Yours faithfully, THE HOFFMANN MANUFACTURING CO.LTD. | ||
