These were fitted to the gear box of 1926 in November of last year; they were fitted to the rear hubs of the same car on the 20th Jan.; on the 14th March a set was fitted on 2300, and the change gear box of 58NA{Mr Nadin} was also fitted with these bearings on the 7th April.

We shall be glad to know whether you can issue a report on this experiment.
