Re: Screw-in of the spring-loaded Bearing Bush S.B.q.11 on our new style of starter S-Rq.PR5D. S.S.9S with its work length of approx 10 1/2". with one of the wind rate each side to up to about 2S, which was into order by F.{Mr Friese} Royce & J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Sankey.
J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Judge has tried one of these men this afternoon slowly & consistent slow-coil all along the stroke works.
With these coil I want you to make a pattern & go ahead at once. between the spring & its bearing surface. It is essential to have some lubricating. The new starter is complete & to go to install is waiting & was telephoned to so act promptly.
