For the attention of Mr. C.H.Smith. Dear Sirs, We are sending for your examination a wheel bearing which has done considerable mileage. We should be very glad to have your views on the cause of the failure of this bearing, that is to say, whether it was lack of lubrication, overload, or from causes connected with unsuitable mounting. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
