| Dear Mr Bentley, I am still pressing for hardened shafts as standard for longitudinal messings wheel dummy on stationary axles because of the low starting effort & wear. I understand we are to make a new-design of crab for 2 tons & under & this will be a model for enclosed gears. [squiggle separator] Should this be delayed we at once go on with one of the most used. (5 ton) new model Crab, pressed for semi-arrangements with enclosed gears. | ||
