Ransome & Marles Bearing Co.,Ltd., NEWARK-on-TRENT. Dear Hickling, I am sending you a set of gearbox bearings, which have run about 20,000 miles. They are now rather rough and noisy, due to the inclusion of foreign matter. I should be grateful if you could arrange for the drawings to be re-burnished, and let us have them back as soon as possible as they are urgently wanted for another test. Yours sincerely, | ||
