Dear Vandervell, One of our people has just returned from America and brought over some excellent samples of flange bearings made out of strip. As you know, we have never had very good results from the loose flange and it has been one of the biggest obstructions to the adoption of your bearing. Is there any prospect of your producing bearings similar to this type that we have had from America in the near future? Yours sincerely, | ||
