| ② Sorry to hear of mishap with Green Bentley, it was a good effort on part of our works Fire Brigade, [strikethrough]apparently all alterations to shop[/strikethrough] will be complete by my return. Hope that reports which have been sent on lead bronze tests, will have satisfied you, feel sure that we can produce equally good bearings at Derby, with tackle of course. Considerable development on lead bronze bearing production is in progress here, G M research are now working on a process which consists of casting in a controlled atmosphere, which permits of bearings being produced with still higher lead content. I'm visiting research on Mon & will obtain particulars of possible I have arranged to see Mr Kettering & Mr Spencer at Research on Mon morning, to discuss details of a license for lead bronze bearing production, this however will be reported on later | ||
