Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}-E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sar-Lns. Wraith Gearbox - Special Bearings. We see that on our N. Sch.4161 we indicate that the layshaft centre bearing should be a special bearing identical with the centre bearing for the 3rd motion shaft. Would you kindly alter the instructions to apply only to the 3rd motion shaft bearing as the layshaft bearing will be quite suitable in the standard form. HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
