D 50026 Special Nut for Shaft Regarding the Journal Ball Bearing 12 m/m x 37 m/m x 9 m/m called for on the above L.O.P., this size is not listed in Hoffmann's Catalogue, but we have reason to believe that they stock this size, will the O.O. therefore kindly enquire and if possible obtain Catalogue number. On the other hand if this size is not stocked then we must order this Ball Bearing from Skefko who list this size under No. E.101. This Bendix Drive is suitable for use with both the R.R. design of motor and also for all the sample motors which we are buying from outside firms, but, it is not considered necessary to produce more than 2 sets for these four or more motors, as it is not possible to assemble the Drive of each individual motor unless the motor is already in position on the engine on the Crankcase.
