We thank you for your Sr/VA.5/ET.4.2.36.
concerning the lead bronze bearings on chassis B-179-AE.

We are glad to note that lead bronze big
end bearings are standing up satisfactorily.

We do not think it worth your while sending
us the intermediate main bearings or the pinion thrust
bearings.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} is at present away but we will show him
your memo. when he returns.
