| Car Dept. c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Gen. 1153 DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}11/C.26.8.37. GRY{Shadwell Grylls} UNIVERSAL GEAR BOX. SPIGOT BEARING. Herewith is N.Sch.5205 shewing the Roller Spigot Bearing for the above box. We have asked Hoffmann for particulars of a standard set up of rollers in a cage which would be sufficiently near this to enable it to be used, but they have nothing suitable, so we should proceed with the above drawing, a quotation for which has already been obtained from Hoffmanns.
