Dept. Re Skefko Ball Bearings. X548 Na {Mr Nadin} 2/B111113. We purchased about three months ago some Skefko ball bearings for trial in our gear box and hubs. Mr Royce is asking us whether we have any results to report on the test of these bearings. It would be interesting to learn what kind of bearings have been run on the dynamometer during the frame experiments, especially on that test during which the front axle was broken.
