E.R.A. BEARINGS.

We have issued instructions to HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} to produce within the next 10 days 50 connecting Rod bearing blanks in AC.7 alloy and 100 liners in R.R.56 alloy to be produced in conjunction with these bearings. These bearings are chargeable to ERA Ltd. and we have arranged the prices to be charged with G/Rb.{R. Bowen} and are as follows for bearings produced from billets -

50 Bearing blanks at 4/- each

100 Liners in R.R.56 alloy at 1/1½ each.

For the original experimental bearings for these outside firms. we have been using a special order number to cover all experiments, but since these bearings are now beyond the experimental stage and in order to prevent confusion will you please arrange with G/Rb.{R. Bowen} the necessary order numbers to cover the job. We should like to know the numbers you fix up for this job in order that we may book the necessary time to the correct numbers.
