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.
