| 450. By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}6/R.14.3.38. B.III STEERING. We wish to try experimentally on the lower end of the pivot pin an angular contact ball bearing to take both journal and thrust loads. Will you please make the necessary drawing for improvising suitable bearings from a 25/30 H.P. steering roller follower. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev.
