| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from EH. 3900x3907 EH3/LG23.10.18. 23rd. Oct. 1918. RE - AMERICAN PARTS. If there is any doubt at all about what type of bearing will be fitted on the gears received from America, I consider we ought to cable and tell them that Hess-Bright bearings with 8 balls are unsatisfactory, and gears fitted with them should be sent over here.
