Linnett}887 why the Belleville washer GB.4892 should not be used on both sides of the bearing R & M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} MJ.1⅛, the distance piece GB.4883 being shortened to suit, and we should be glad if you would instruct this to be done experimentally with a view to standardisation, if successful.
