In order to obtain running experience on axle pinion bearings with 0.005 preload we wish to send a bearing to Sr. for his trials car. We think it will be best if we send the bearing complete with nut GB.1134, housing G.100829, cover GB.584, and hardened packing washer GB.2704 to make sure that the fitting is correct. We have handed the bearing to WSC.{W. S. Cassel} Will you please supply and fit the other parts and send to Sr. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
