| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from AJS. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X7620 AJS2/M18.12.26. RE PHANTOM STARTER. X.7620. On drawing LeC.2334. recently sent you we should be glad if you would instruct that the housing for ball bearings is as close a fit as possible round the shaft where indicated in sketch. We think this is necessary to prevent ingress of dirt to the bearing, but a note calling attention to same was omitted from the drawing. HERE AJS. | ||
