| 1379 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 26th January, 1939. L. Pomeroy, Esq., Technical Editor, "The Motor", 5/17, Rosebery Avenue, E.C.1. Dear Pomeroy, Herewith are some photographs of bearings which have been run, and for which you asked, and also a photograph of the sample bearings which are being produced by Wellworthys for various Companies. A point I did not mention on the notes which I gave you on the Aluminium Tin Bearings is the necessity for good filtration on both lead bronze and aluminium tin. Our Conduit Street Office has expressed a wish to have a look at anything you may propose to publish as a result of the information we have been able to give you before it actually goes to Press. If this could be arranged I should be glad if you would let me have a draft to hand on to them. Yours sincerely, | ||
