X1070 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} c. to HL. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.9/KW.17.10.35. Hall's Metal Bearings. Will you please make us a complete set of big end and main bearings for a Bentley unit, in solid Hall's metal (i.e. to existing drawings but without steel shells). The oil groove in the big end should be milled in the rod instead of the cap. The connecting rods in 21-G-IV are like this. Will HL. please instruct an alloy of suitable composition for the job.
