For the attention of C.H.Smith, Esq.

Accordingly will you please cancel our request for one of the latter and send us two R.135.LL as soon as possible. An official order for these bearings will follow. In connection with the special three new pinion bearing which you are designing for us, the writer has ascertained that the maximum diameter of the roller race may be 3.000, while the length is, within reason, not restricted.
