| Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} myth 1030 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/ML.29.10.40. Y56 I notice that in the last issue of Automotive Industries, Buicks have increased the size of their road wheel bearings on their front wheels. I am not sure whether, at my request, you based the bearing size for our new pivots on those of the Buick, but if so, they should be reviewed in the light of this information.
