Dear Mr. Hickling, I rang you up this morning, as we have a car going to France at the end of next week on which we want to have a 35 mm. pinion thrust bearing. We shall be sending you an order for several of these, but could you expedite two of them, with steel cages ? If you could let us have these, and the small pilot bearings with Oilite cages, by the middle of next week, so much the better. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
