| 1153? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}o/MH.{M. Huckerby} 15th. March, 1939. F.O.Hickling, Esq., Messrs. Ransome & Marles Bearing Co. Ltd., Newark, NOTTS. Dear Hickling, We want for purely experimental purposes two LJ.45 bearings having an end float of .050. The life of the bearings is immaterial as they are only required for a short test to represent extreme conditions. Can you, therefore, let us have a couple in the near future. I was sorry I was unable to try your motor car when you were over here the other day, but if you will let me know next time you are coming over I will try and do some-thing about it. Yours sincerely, | ||
