| 1153 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/MH.{M. Huckerby} 3rd. February, 1939. F.O.Hickling, Esq., Messrs. Ransome & Marles Bearing Co. Ltd., Newark, NOTTS. Dear Hickling, Many thanks for your letter of February 2nd., and for sending along the Duplex bearing. In order to do the experiment properly can you please send us 3 DMJT.1 1/4J bearing with groove for snap ring. This goes in the other end of the gearbox and will complete the experiment. As regards the rollers and cage mentioned in my last letter, we have fortunately got over the difficulty in another way, and, therefore, no longer have need for them. Yours sincerely, | ||
