BENTLEY III BACK AXLE DEFLECTION RIG. We are sending into the shop the Bentley back axle which we use for measuring pinion bearing deflection. Will you please build this up, using a standard roller bearing at the small end of the differential casing and the special pinion bearing which we have handed to the shop. The special bearing should be assembled with the rollers towards the crown wheel. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
