Bailey - Chief Engineer} Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} E.1/HP.24.9.35. Bentley Rear Axle Pinion Thrust Race. With reference to your memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}6/KW. 21.9.35, I attach herewith copy of Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}3/HP.21.9.35 which seems to indicate that Ransome and Marles have somewhat pushed us off the rails with regard to the scheme of lubrication in cancelling the oil feed to the bearing, as we have got it arranged on the Hoffmann. We are, therefore, fully in agreement with reinstating the original scheme on our axles generally. ATT: E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
