Dear Mr. Hickling, Many thanks for your telephone call. The high capacity thin race bearings we have in mind are New Departure Shield Bearings Nos. Endec 3211 and Endec 3308. Perhaps you will let us know what you can do in this line when you come over to see us. In particular we shall probably want a ball journal and thrust bearing 3¼ x 1⅝ x ¾" with the maximum capacity possible. Yours sincerely, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
