Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Recd File Dear Sir, For the attention of Mr. Salt. Approximately 12 months ago you supplied us with two sets of Aluminium Alloy bearings and we wish to put out into road service a few more sets of bearings. The necessary machining was carried out by your goodselves and although the bearings were given a part number of X 1041, our drawings actually carried no dimensions and we are therefore at a loss in issuing instructions to Messrs. Well Worthy Piston Rings for the production of further bearings. We should be glad if you would either let us have a print of the original bearings or if you would mark up one of the enclosed blue prints so that we can have a record of the original bearings for our files.
