E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hdy.{William Hardy} Bentley Universal Joint. -------------------- Experimental, we understand would like to try the roller bearing sliding joint which we sent from West WitteringHenry Royce's home town about January 1933, and shewn on N. Sch.3647. We believe it has never been detailed. Though done for Peregrine the stresses are suitable for Bentley and needle bearings can be applied without difficulty to the pins as on the standard joints. Could it be proceeded with?
