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,
