Some time ago you submitted to us your Drawing No. G.B.2680 illustrating your present arrangements for pinion bearings. We have submitted your drawing to our Works, and as an alternative type of bearing they have recommended our Double Row Angular Contact bearing No.5306. We are sending you, under separate cover, three of these bearings should you wish to carry out tests. Our works inform us that it is standard practice to use this type of bearing on the Continent for pinion applications, and we therefore, feel sure you will find this bearing satisfactory. In conclusion should there be any further details or information you require, we trust you will not hesitate to communicate with us. Yours faithfully, FISCHER BEARINGS COMPANY LIMITED. | ||
